Hi! This is a cool question, I actually decided to finally make a real account just so I could throw my hat in the ring with this!

It's too bad to learn that main character can't drink the special wine that helps Asterion. Ever since I started the game I've been hoping that main character and Asterion would share a tender moment where Asterion offers main character some of this special wine as a way to show how close the two have become and how he now trusts main character with something as important and useful as the wine. He's willing to give main character some of the wine even though there is so little of it in existence, and it's one of if not the only thing that can heal him, which is why sharing it with someone else would be so profoundly meaningful to both Asterion and main character.

Anyways that's my two cents!

Fun fact: in the original draft of the story what you suggested happened, precisely! I still think it would be a great moment. If the story ever allows it and Asterion finds a way to do it safely, I will put that in.

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed! I'd love to see something along those lines towards the very end of the story, it would be a nice way to end the novel. Asterion and main character relaxing in the lounge after a long day helping guests, sharing Asterion's wine as they plan for their future and the hotel's future together! :)

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my comment!

Aww that's really a sweet idea. I do like the thought of leaving the end of the novel 'open' where all of the plot threads have mostly been wrapped up, but where we see Asterion and MC planning for the next days. I don't want it to feel like it just stops, and is like:

"Okay we've reached the end that's it goodbye..."

I want to feel like there's more to their story that we don't necessarily see, where it feels like the characters will continue forward even after we are done with the virtual novel. I hope that makes sense lol.

I also love love love the idea of the two of them sharing Asterion's wine together as they look forward into their own futures together and at the future of the hotel! (I'm sure the Devs can figure out a way for MC to be able to drink it, they're plenty creative!)

I definitely think that if Asterion escapes the labyrinth or finds a way to break free if it but still use it's power, he will still find a way to keep the hotel running. I can't imagine he would just walk away from it. His character cares too much about others to just abandon them like he was abandoned in the original labyrinth in Crete.
