Founded on absolutely nothing but my notoriously unreliable gut instinct, I've been thinking Jill's jealousy points might be a mechanism DPC uses to break up her relationship with the MC regardless of your choices.
I'm typically an optimistic kind of guy, but the MC's whole opening monologue at the beginning of the game has left me with an unshakeable feeling that there could be no truly happy ending with anyone. Now I'm not saying the denouement will be anywhere close to as tragic as AL, because I don't believe that. What I'm saying is there's a chance it won't necessarily be this happy:
This story will span the length of a single Fall Semester, with certainly a "flash-way-the-fuck-forward" epilogue. There is no way it's extending into the Spring without enormous fluidity-destroying, sensory-jarring time skips.
If you're watching the final season of Better Call Saul, then you know what I'm talking about.
Therefore, if DPC intends to send the MC down the "We gave it a shot but it didn't work out" road resulting from a LI calling it quits, he needs to start planting those seeds now or very soon. Many possibilities exist for a LI to break it off, and some already have been laid (pun absolutely intended). I'm listing only a few select examples:
- Sage:
- The MC knew about the restaurant and said nothing.
- Jade throws the MC under the bus, even if (or especially if?) you rejected her.
- Bella:
- Josy & Maya:
- It will never be a fully-functioning throuple, or whatever you want to call it, and the girls go off to be with each other.
- One tries to make it work with the MC, but they're too guilt-ridden when the MC rejects the other.
Those are easy to deduce. With Jill, I don't see anything so far that would make her doubt their relationship once the MC commits. So, in walks the Jealousy Point. One exit strategy could be that no matter what we do, Jill will accumulate enough of these points based on other influences that she reaches a tipping point.
Of course, that could be me talking out of my ass, but you're the one that said to pretend being Dalli for a little while.
Said the guy who referenced another post that I clicked and then ended up reading surrounding posts, and almost started "liking" them when I realized those posts are fucking thousands of years old!
But if I'm being completely honest...

...I almost "liked" a couple of DavDR's nearby posts for fun to see if I could coax him back into the thread (if he isn't banned), just so I could give him a hard time about being a shitposter.
But then sobriety kicked in.
