canon paths!

[aidenstop]

Due to the malleability of Beyond: Two Souls, it's possible to vastly change how shit goes down, not to mention how both Jodie and Aidan feel and behave. This is a brief timeline to clarify on a little of that! For a summary of each chapter to get some kind of context, check here.

As a general rule, Jodie is: - honest about her connection to Aiden, albeit less so later on - cooperative with the lab - uncooperative with the CIA - romantic whenever given the option

As a general rule, Aiden is: - destructive whenever possible - possessive of Jodie - unconcerned with the value of human lives - unconcerned with how his actions reflect on Jodie
