oh but the clothing choices are SO interesting here.
right when mew finally seems to be letting ray in, mew starts dressing in a style that's awfully reminiscent of ray himself:
meanwhile, right when ray is finally getting to receive the type of affection from mew he's yearned for ages - ray's not dressed the way he usually does for nights out.
in fact if i didn't know any better, i might even say he's dressed up in an outfit that's awfully reminiscent of a style a certain someone picked out just for him:
what a coincidence, that right when mew's external appearance finally seems to imply he's ready to be on the same page as ray...........ray's external appearance has shifted to reflect the lingering influence of someone new.

also thinking about the tiny detail of ray being bored out of his mind while keeping mew company, showing no interest in something mew loves dearly – while, from the very first moment, he's been completely obsessed with any little thing sand has ever shown him; everything sand loves or does fascinates ray

Why I think Ray suggests threesomes to get Sand to actively choose him over others, an unnecessary analysis:
Sand is actually the first one to mention threesomes when Ray interrupts his date with Amm. I actually don’t think Ray was suggesting anything sexual when he invited them over to swim and drink, he just didn’t want to be alone:
But Sand drags him to the side and questions his motives:
Sand isn’t interested in a threesome. Once Ray convinces Sand to hang out with him, we see Sand send Amm on her way. And we spot a very smug Ray on her way out:
Ray learned two things here - 1) Sand doesn’t want to share and 2) Sand was interested enough in Ray to want to be alone with him.
There was no reason at this point that Amm couldn’t have come with them just to hang out, Ray didn’t seem to mind. So that told Ray that Sand was at least somewhat attracted to him - and attracted enough for Ray to be chosen over a one night stand.
-
Moving on to Ray’s jealousy. The next time he suggests a threesome is with Mr. Freddie at the Halloween party:
This is a clear attempt to break any chance of a hookup taking place, clearly not a real proposition. He wants to make the two uncomfortable and probably hopes that Sand will behave the same way he did before - as in wanting nothing to do with a threesome and pushing the extra party away.
Here Mr. Freddie removes himself from the situation, but I think Ray’s intentions are clear. And we get another parallel with Ray’s smug look at Mr. Freddie as he leaves:
-
Lastly, we have the camper with Nick. This one is especially funny because of how uncalled for and out of the blue the suggestion is… it’s the middle of the night, Sand and Nick had been asleep, they’d also made it clear to Ray that they were NOT hooking up.
Yet, Ray still asks them for a threesome after pushing his way between the two:
The juxtaposition of suggesting a threesome and then immediately turning your back to and freezing out the third party cannot be ignored:
It was clear this was another attempt by Ray to get Sand to choose him. Even though it was unnecessary to do so in this moment.
-
In short, Ray is a big baby who doesn’t like to share but uses the fact that Sand doesn’t like to share to push the right buttons to get the outcome he wants:
