Oh my god, Joy, this was so thorough, thank you so much!! (note to readers: this answer contains spoilers)
Yes, this was Jasper's biggest difficulty in writing: he's honestly quite selfish at the start of the story - an understandable selfishness, but selfishness all the same. So that's why the first part of the game is solely about him overcoming the ghost of his father, if I can say so.
And I love Megan too! She's light, funny, compassionate and yet she made my heart break the first time I troubleshot the whole game! But the balance of humour and tragedy was important (that is, I think, the main reason this game is waaaay lighter than HSL).
And Benjamin is a great name! I'm sure Megan and Jasper love their little Benjamin very much! And it was fun to write an actual married couple, since they have dynamics we rarely see in VNs (as we tend to focus on the start of a romance).
Yes, it is such a leap, but I think Jasper was trying to find reasons for this to happen... Because, in the end, although he knows there are no reasons behind such things happening, his heart still tries to find one, because he still doesn't understand, deep down, why they took his son away.
Ha ha, I headcanon Megan and Jasper having 4 or 5 kids, in a household full of love and laughs!
And thank you for your lovely review!!! I really love this story and these characters, so I'm glad you enjoyed them too!
