Oh, I hope it didn't affect your mood too much. :c
The ending is made to be vague, as either you protected him, he manages to escape or whatever. I wanted the player to imagine their own scenario as to what your character would do. Personally I like the idea that you selflessly protected him with the charm you got. I appreciate the kind words though.
As for a sequel or prequel, I'm not too sure yet. I'm going to shift focus to other projects for a few months. But I'm certainly not oppose to making one sometime in the future.
Also I saw your comment to my gamejolt page aswell. Sorry I didn't reply to that. I was thinking about how to respond. c:
