It's interesting, having just played the game from start to the end of 0.2.5, how you can already see the seeds of what everyone else confirmed for me here: Ashley will be on Kate's side.
You can see it from the moment the Kappa Kai speech happens and she starts clapping, that moment is the one that told me that she was not gonna be a viable option anymore, shame too because I remember fondly her cascade of escalating "No!" when MC tells her what they did.
I am pretty fine with going cold turkey on the traitor. (Also possible interesting bit of foreshadowing that may not be intentional: right after the leaked photos switch and MC is discussing with Tommy and Amber, the moment Tommy mentions that someone had to have warned them, Ashley enters the room. I am not saying she gave them the warning, she didn't know, but I am saying that that was some good foreshadowing that if someone was gonna be a traitor, it was gonna be her.)
Something that could be done to convince MC to stop being so passive, at least towards people who aren't in the B5, is to have a talk with his dad. Dad opening the son's eyes to how the situation is really looking from an outside perspective would be nice ("Son, you are telling me that your girlfriend is being chummy with the girl that ruined your life for the last year and wants you to play nice with her? You know what must be done.")... and yes, this is just an excuse because I am actually kind of interested in how the dad, who is also rich and can be helpful in getting MC involved in the B5 circles to understand their plans better, can join the story.
