SURVIVAL IS A WAR WITHOUT END

Danse: Rules exist for a reason.

One of the reasons I ship Jesse and Emily so much is Jesse goes into The Oldest House with her guard up, very cautious, ready to be combative with the Bureau. First person she talks to outside of Ahti is Emily, the personification of this agency that took her brother and has had her on the run ever since. In her internal monologue, she plays at holding back, not sharing a lot with her. But in the end, she always ends up being honest with Emily. It wouldn't be special if she did that with everyone, but all the other people she meets she keeps at arms length, remaining friendly enough but still kinda standoffish. It's clear she doesn't trust anyone like she trusts Emily, a trust that only gets stronger as the game goes on.
