BCC 27-08: Hi-Res Early Access (Patreon)

 It was never really elaborated on, but two chapters ago Astrid mentioned off-hand that she's Vincent's cousin, so that basically makes her Jenna's cousin-in-law. When this chapter was in its earliest stages of writing I actually planned for Jenna to encounter Ronnie outside. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, in the earliest, earliest stages she didn't encounter any of Bianca's grunts outside, but as I thought about ti more I realized that something like this would get noticed by Bianca, and she aso wouldn't just  ignore it if something like this happened. So I had to show that she's at least aware of what's happening and fully intended to lean hard on Cassandra to pressure her out of business... but really, I feel like the story would get boring if the answer to every problem was "Bianca sends the mob in to deal with every problem".
