So I do think that Sophie 100% has the right to not want to be with Dex, and that it wasn't wrong for her to reject him romantically. After all, it's ridiculous to expect her to pursue a relationship she doesn't really feel is good for her. She is not wrong for "not giving him a chance."

However I definitely agree that she shouldn't have just shut him out from her life like that. He was totally fine with just being friends, from what I remember. Sophie's the one who made it awkward, not Dex. I mean, he remained friends with her after basically getting kidnapped because of her (I know it wasn't her fault but he knowingly continued to put himself in danger by sticking with her.)

Sophie kind of treated Dex horribly throughout the series. Like how she acted towards him when he was forced to give her the Ability Restrictor (despite the fact that he had no choice) and still didn't really make it up to him after he joined the Black Swan and attended Exillium for her, and then straight up ignoring him after she kissed him (yes, SHE kissed HIM.)

TL;DR: Dex deserves better. He's not entitled to a relationship with Sophie, but he at least deserves some recognition from her after all he's done for her.
