Given that she's wearing the same outfit between 8 and 9, and that she's on the phone in 8, PRESUMABLY texting mc - since its not like we see her talk to others or gfs via phone; it's reasonable to conclude that's another setup situation like mc sends her off to cornells room or they talk after or some variation. the (2) image I really hope is shot from MC's perspective, that'd be great to have her getting a rubdown while he watches next to jasmin.
Agreed!
Going by the pic sequence, your estimation for pic 2 should be correct. In pic 1 we see the MC sitting next to Jasmine and it very much looks like these pics are from the same event. Maybe there is a difference if you are on the Jasmine path or not, but I think it would be a small one.
By the way, the pic 4, where Julia and cornell are lying naked on the bed, is also interesting, because it must be from the sharing or cuck paths with high CP. Julia´s bikini has landed on the lamp, so they were quite passionate. The condom is a bit of a mystery, since they already did it without a rubber in the hospital, so it is unlikely they go back to it. (Could be from a path without the MC-Jasmine pairing, because Jasmine was the one taking the last condom in the clinic)
While I was not convinced during earlier versions, now I estimate that we will have paths which will end with pregnancies (Julia and/or Jasmine) and where the pairings will stay so in the future, meaning Julia/Cornell and MC/Jasmine. Naturally not on all paths, but I think on several path variants this will happen.
