I'd like to pose a question to everyone here, which also plays a role in "Burning Bridges":
How trustworthy is Jessica? Her decision to stay with her parents despite everything has seriously undermined my trust in her, and I'm confident her parents are capable of anything! To make matters worse, Jessica doesn't entirely agree with our MC's decision to turn his back on his parents.
The next few dialogues with her will reveal where the dev positions Jessica.

I have no reason to doubt Jessica. She’s younger than MC, she’s more sentimental and she still lives at home - plus the parents didn’t also set her up with a boyfriend and a job so they could keep an eye on her so she doesn’t have as much to be mad about. She just really loves her parents and MC and isn’t ready to let any of them go - at least not yet. I’m not writing this story, so I can’t say definitely and for sure, but she’s currently the only one I fully trust and I haven’t seen or heard anything that would make me doubt her. I’ll be really sad if she ever decides to join the Templars though - because that would basically be the end of our relationship. I’d still care about her but I wouldn’t see her very often and would let her know that I absolutely hate the organization she’s in and want to destroy it - so that might put a damper on our relationship.
IMO, Jessica feels like she is caught in the middle between her parent's choices to keep she and her brother in the dark (among other things) and her love for her brother who she seems to look up to.
She takes the news of Kaija's betrayal hard and questions whether Kaija was ever her friend or if that was also a role.
I don't recall any discussions about Jessica having one or more serious relationships prior to the attempted kidnapping of her brother and the events that followed. Because of this, I think she can empathize with her brother's sense of betrayal, but it does not come close to hitting her the way it does him.
I think Jessica is hoping that she can be at least a communication link between her parents and her brother, giving him a way back if he chooses to burn bridges.
She does not want to accept that the family she knew is truly dead and that there are now two sides, forever divided.
At this point in time (in the burning bridges option), I think Jessica is trying to please two 'masters' and she is likely to fail unless she becomes 'Switzerland' - engaging with both 'sides' and siding with neither.
Would the MC test Jessica to see if she will keep his confidences? Maybe...
If he does and she realizes that he is testing her loyalty - that could also backfire on him - leaving her feeling betrayed by him.
For example, what if the test is too harsh and she thinks he might be badly injured or die if she does not tell someone so he can be 'saved' from his bad choice. Jessica is left with choosing to have her live brother mad at her versus her inaction resulting in her brother's serious injury or death (from her POV - this is not a test, just her emotionally distraught brother making a huge bad choice). I think this test, if Jessica realized it as such, would actually push her away from him, damaging her trust in him and further damaging her trust in her entire family.
We need more story and the initial aftermath of the 'burning bridges' choice to begin to see what impact this choice has on the MC.
I doubt one more update will give us enough information to see the ripples from this choice - I'm guessing it will take 2-3 more updates to begin to see any real divergence in the two different paths (burn/don't burn bridges) and how Jessica's behavior varies.
Cheers!!

I see someone is trying to make Jessica into a bad guy.
Kaija is fair game, but don't touch Jessica!

She's younger than you and lives at 'home' because she a student....what exactly do you expect her to do?
She also isn't stupid enough to just 'burn her own bridges' when nothing has actually happened to her...like, you know...almost being killed by mercs.
Maybe she can move into the MC's apartment and wander around in her panties to piss off all the people who want her as a LI?
C'mon...it's not difficult. Yes, she is trustworthy.

Edit: And Nimue please!!!! She could just wander around naked. It's definitely warmer than that lake. My MC will take good care of her. Trust me
Jessica is thrilled. She wants to live in a magical world of adventure and excitement. She asks her mother to train her in sword fighting and wants to travel to another country to study martial arts, which her mother agrees to. Jessica loves the equipment like the armor and is excited to have one of the cars. She will be a full-fledged Templar, without a doubt.

Hey everyone,
same as last week, the numbers at the start of the post:
32 new static renders for a total of 2039
13 new animations for a total of 76
90 new lines in the script file for a total of 5857
Other than that, there are no real news regarding my situation.
For every step forward, we take 2 steps back it seems. My mother got another infection earlier this week, so the situation is mostly the same as in the past 3 weeks.
With the difference, that the docs now say they did everything they could and she either pulls through now or not.
So every day is kinda the same where we hope for some good news and are happy if there's at least no additional bad news.
I'm sorry that there's no good news here and that it's still dragging on but on the other hand, nothing I can really do about it.
Have a nice weekend, guys.
Cheers,
Ceo

They didn't have a pool, I think, right? So she'll be living in the bath tub, make her portal in there.

The kitchen sink probably won't do, it might be a little tight around the buttocks.

It's a horrible situation, and unfortunately there's not much any of us can do about it.
As far as the numbers go, Ceolag is now averaging 66 statics renders, 2.5 animations, and 189 lines per week since work on Chapter 6 began. Here are the charts.

The portal, remember? I'm not sure how thrilled Jess or mom will be when they go to take a bath and end up butt-naked in a freezing cold lake somewhere in Wales(?) or possibly in the lake in Alfheimr...Not unactrative Idea, having a sexy otherworthly living in you Bathtub, I for sure would bath much more often.

Oh, right. MC lives in the apartment with Kaija. I'm starting to forget. Kaija might actually like it.

Listen Nimue, you know I love you and I love having you here but you really have to stop handing out swords and making disturbing prophecies every time someone comes in for a poop. It's really off putting for some of them.
