This is awesome to read. Griffin was the last main character introduced, so it took me a little bit to find his "voice." Once I did, I really enjoyed writing his storyline. His story is designed to be alluring but confusing, especially since he and Connor had and are having such different life experiences. The gray morality "villain" archetype is definitely part of him, but not all of him, which it seems you discovered. I'm really looking forward to seeing how people react as his story continues...

I'm very interested in what the interaction between Owen and Griffin would look like)Griffin, despite all the friendly nature, is clearly dangerous as hell if you start digging into his soul.Judging by what he said, he was clearly treated very badly in 21SA, it is quite possible that this is somehow connected with the professionals, which is why it hurts him very much, well, this is clearly not his only secret and pain.And Owen is perfectly able to read people, thanks to his experience with auras and vibrations, but judging by how he tried to find sex for Connor, he lacks tact and, in general, brakes when talking.And that's why I would really like to see the interaction these two, what kind of atmosphere could develop between them)How Griffin would slow down Owen, and how much he could see the darkness in his soul, and perhaps warn Connor.Still, considering that Griffin likes to tell, albeit superficial, but compromising evidence on students, it would be honest and interesting if Owen applied this to him.And by the way I wanted to ask:What will a relationship with him look like at all?All this polygamy and belief in free love, plus Julian, who I think will be completely unhappy that Connor got close to Owen?I think it would be interesting if Connor could bring some characters are related to each other, for example Matt and Griffin, who are clearly combined with each other and there is a fair chemistry between them, or Owen and Julian, who with his "naturalness" just hangs around Owen's neck as a free client of a psychotherapist.I apologize for the big comments, it's just that this novel gave me a real spiritual youth and enthusiasm)
It would be interesting to see Griffin and Owen together for sure since they have such different vibes but aren't necessarily dissimilar in other ways. Griffin is older than Owen and a bit savvier and more cynical, but he might be charmed by Owen's friendliness like he's charmed by Connor.
I don't have any romances that are more than two people solely because it'd be very hard to keep track of writing-wise and especially coding-wise. However, some guys will want to be strictly monogamous, others have an open relationship, and others somewhere in-between. So if you romance Owen, there won't be an option to add Julian as a third romantic partner, but Julian could perhaps fit in other ways.
I do have some romances planned between characters if Connor doesn't romance them or spend much time with them. Interestingly, not Matt & Griffin or Matt & Leo, but I do have someone Matt will romance if Connor doesn't go for either of them. I'll leave that a secret for now...
It sounds wonderful and very intriguing)As for the beautiful, I'm glad that Owen, despite his love of sexual matchmaking and dollmaking, will be in a classic relationship, this is certainly not good on my part, but I'm not ready to share this bun with Julian or anyone else!)The fact that relationships will develop between some characters if Connor stands them up also sounds like a balm for the soul (It looks like Owen's influence is having an effect).It is very intriguing with whom Matt can have a relationship other than Connor and Griffin...???This is very intriguing)But I'm very glad that it's not Leo, this character has become a surprise to me antipathetic after he refused to hug Connor after sex.After hugs with Owen, Marco and to some extent with Matt (the scene when he fell asleep drunk and half-naked on Connor), my attitude to Leo just fell into a minus, after his refusal to hug, and I'm gnawing with jealousy that he had sex with Matt (My God, I'm jealous of fictional characters to each other), although I'm even happy for Matt and Griffin.And to be honest, I don't like Professor Will, I don't like manipulators so much.......I don't like it very, very much.And the fact that this professor in this field is very , very experienced , I realized without spoilers from Griffin, who, it seems to me, dealt with him, and perhaps the professor by his actions had a hand in his dark side, and that reservoir of pain that Griffin hides under his .....not masks, but something that can be changed like gloves.I am very much looking forward to the continuation of the story, I was so attracted only by the series "Magnificent Century", with its understatements, intrigues, and such pleasant little things as second shots of glancing between the characters of the picture, who contributed their own atmosphere, considering which characters in this story are unique in their personality, I enjoy the novel, no less than the series)
