Your Character
You are one of Jimmy's college friends and fellow dormmates. While Luz was successful first in finding a job with Hazel Boutique and you gained a foot in the door through happenstance, Jimmy is a photographer trying to get his big break. In Chapter 2, he asks you to introduce him to Marco Di Vincenzo but you decline since you only had one photoshoot and aren't even sure if you're employed by the company. In Chapter 5, he complains that you and Luz have had your 'big breaks' but he hasn't had one yet. He starts working part-time as a barista to save up money.

In Chapter 6, he betrays you by selling embarrassing photos of you during your freshman year in college to Dirty Hollywood. When you go to confront him, he tells you that he doesn't regret doing it because he doesn't believe you deserve what you have. Your emotions take the better of you and you cause a scene, adding to the mess that he started.

In Chapter 8, you and Luz are surprised to see him in Milan, guessing that he is now one of the paparazzi. You can choose how to react to him. If you simply tell him "good bye", he says "good bye" to you too and leaves you alone. In Chapter 11, back in New York, he apologizes for what he did. He realizes how jealous he had become. It is your decision to forgive him or not. Whether you do or not, he still attempts to repair your friendship. He informs you about Otto Thorndyke's underhanded tactics and shows you a video of him talking to Isak & Kasi. Later, he supports you at your Open House and when you have your Paris debut, he is in the audience with the other photographers.

Luz Estrada
Luz was one of Jimmy's college friends and fellow dormmates. He was living on Luz's couch while he tried to start his career as a photographer in New York. When your college pictures show up in Dirty Hollywood, he moves out of her apartment.
