Er, even if MJ isn’t a part of the harem that would have been a terrible response. The MC is her confidant. He’s a caring man who shelters her from the fear her father represents and the nightmares that would likely come if she were without him. While it’s true that such situations can sometimes cause people to become irrational, such situations are driven by the subconscious… she has been in fear of her father since she was 5, right? And the MC has been there for her all this time? So long as she values the MC more than her father (or more specifically, her concept of a father) then she will subconsciously side with Peter no matter what. That said, it just would have made me dislike this version of her character… If a close friend of mine was beaten by their drunk father I would have been angry too and if they had been female… well, the instinct to protect is sometimes too overwhelming to resist. It doesn’t matter what kind of relationship a girl has with you, 🫤 even if she’s just a neighbor you happen to wave at while passing by, if I saw her getting beat by a drunk husband I would have a hard to keep my head out of it. Imagine seeing a child in the same situation. MJ is 14, she’s a sweetheart and a childhood friend of the MC…
