Does forwarding email result in an extra "persistence" of it's copy?

I understand that when an email is sent from point A to B, it can persist in other locations while in transit from A to B.

When forwarding email, can this increase the extra locations where one's email can persist?

For example:

Situation 1: Someone sends me an email from their address (A) to my address (B).

Situation 2: Someone sends me an email from their address (A) to my forwarding address (C), which is setup to forward emails to my address (B).

Does situation 2 result in more locations where the email persists on servers that situation 1?
