I'M SORRY, OK!? I admit I've made some mistakes, and Jones has clearly paid for them.

But ma'am! Jones' only crime was looking at the wrong files!

I beg of you, don't ship away Jones, he has a wife and kids!

The easy answer is that in dating sims, you frequently see a character whose sole role is effectively to act as the player's information station. For this purpose, they're endowed with supernatural powers to read your relationship points, give you updates on your current status, and other things like that.

See: the Tokimeki Memorial LPs in the archive. Those have good examples of said characters...except for 3. We don't talk about 3 (unless it involves Best Girl Serika).
