User blog comment:TheNewProtagonist/Episode 12: And now it allllll makes sense./@comment-19170895-20131004123930/@comment-10390252-20131004124504

I think that Jaune is going to have a long-running moral trial; he'll try to keep buying Cardin's silence until the demands reach a line that he can't cross and still remain true to himself. Maybe Cardin is abusing Velvet and insists that Jaune walk away and forget it. At that point, Jaune decides that he'd much rather get expelled and still be able to look himself in the eye. It won't be an easy choice but, in the end, the hero is the one who does the right thing, no matter the cost.

I'm getting a definite feel that it's going to be like the relationship between George and Biff in Back to the Future. Jaune will look the other way out of fear time and time again until he realises that doing so will lead to someone he cares about being hurt. At that point, he has to decide who he really is.
