TL;DR
Jesse is the boyfriend option. The base route is free and has been since v0.3.1: same state machine as Sarah, different prose. What v0.3.5 adds is his flat, and under his roof he finally asks for things.
The wish ladder
Once his hope is high enough he asks for exactly one thing a week, drawn from a fixed rotation of six: your nails in his colour, his earrings worn outside, his shirt to sleep in, a skirt for Saturday, makeup by his hands, your hair on a Sunday.
| Wishes kept | What changes |
|---|---|
| 3 | He starts dressing you for outside. |
| 6 | He stops asking for small things. |
Saying “not this week” is allowed and costs nothing immediately. He leaves it three days and asks again.
When he stops asking
Too many refusals, or a week with nothing in it, and he withdraws. The flat goes quiet in a way that has a shape: he is not unkind, he asks about your day, and there is not one thing in the morning you could point at.
The way back is a choice on the hub, not a scene he starts. You wear something of his to breakfast without being asked. The second time he withdraws he sleeps on the sofa until you do.
Keyholder
Jesse can hold your key on the acceptance route, the boyfriend parallel of the Sarah keyholder chain. Free since v0.3.4.
