This is my take on this film. With how Nico exposes the whole thing by revealing that the fake boyfriend that Jake had created, the question is why Jake & Andrew were so willing to allow Nico to expose the fraud, allowing him to win, when the whole purpose & the whole focal point is by allowing Nico to fail at all costs, you don't put into motion to allow Nico to win when that wasn't the narrative of the whole film, right?
When Nico's name first appears onscreen, it reads Niko. Then, later in the movie, it changes to Nico.
