In real life, two of the paths in this game would surely lead to a complete breakup of the friendship with Jill:... a highly emotional Jill publicly breaks up with the MC after he runs across town to save her from her last forced date. Her rationale is that the MC doesn't think about her enough, even though her only evidence for that is (potentially) the MC turning down a surprise birthday picnic because he'd already agreed to help a sick friend that he has no romantic interest in.
...I struggle to see how the MC wouldn't be bitter at Jill after the latter. Likewise while Jill is always going to be surprised to find the MC banging Bella, I can see her being more worried about her two friends getting caught if the MC never pursued her seriously. But if the MC made out with Jill as often as possible, went on the picnic, and met her friends only to screw Bella with wild abandon, I don't think Jill should ever want to talk to the MC again.
- Jill being in love with the mc and catching him banging Bella; and
- Jill publicly humiliating the mc when she breaks up with him at the restaurant.
#2 was bullshit. Here's my slightly ranty take on how that all unfolded. No guy with a set of balls would go crawling back to a girl that did that to him, he'd just write her off as a cunt and move on. No way they'd be friends after that shit.
But we already know that the mc passively blamed himself for that public dressing down he received. His lame acceptance:
mc: "I've been thinking about that moment a lot..."
mc: "In retrospect, I can't say that I blame her."
mc: "I didn't show enough interest in her or let her know that I was interested."
So on the flipside, it won't come as a surprise if Jill just accepts that the mc is in love with Bella:
Jill: "At first I was deeply hurt and angry, but I realised I shouldn't stand in between you two if you truly love each other."
I don't think Jill really matters in the story if the mc were to move on and not be friends with her, I mean there are a few loose ends, but being with Jill doesn't seem to be critical to the plot (not that I have any idea where the plot is headed anyway), but I'd be surprised if she just disappears from his group of friends.
