@gargayle Thanks! As the story developed I had originally planned to drag the Prince's allies in and have him warp them too, but I ended up focusing on the relationship with Hugh. As for that, the more time I spent with the Demon Lord the more I came to accept that the two guys were not going to have a happy ending. Maybe Aren's future holds some better possibilities.

@Blazargus I think the fact that I wanted things to work out for them in some way speaks to how you managed to make Hugh and Aren quite compelling despite the story being relatively short! I get why it ended the way it did though; sometimes the sad ending is the most sensible one

@gargayle The sequel chapter is seeking validation right now. I think I like the ending for the first part being this hopeless situation, before moving in to a more varied set-up for the next. I believe the final ending will seem bittersweet, compared to this one.

@blankbot Thank you kindly!

@Cutlerfan You ask, and so I will answer. But first, after rereading the previous chapter, I noticed a lot of spelling errors and mistakes that changed the meaning of some points that would have contributed to their part of the story: I meant to write that Bobby **_(wouldn’t)_** support the babies from his previous life which led to all the girls who got pregnant(I’m gonna make it canon and say he impregnated 13 girls who all got abortions), apparently Word auto-corrected by removing the “n’t” part which made no sense. With that correction, Freddy let the clients know about that fact: Bobby’s dad and Mr. Guerrero knowledge about that fueled their angers, I guess I should have found a way to make that more explicit. Mr. Guerrero’s daughter was one of the people who got pregnant by him so that only made him want to go through with the plan even more. For his dad, I also mentioned earlier in the previous part that Bobby left because both of his parents were annoyed by his presence and wanted him out of the house so they can move(the stream for these porno streams are on the dark web so Mrs. Barlowe wouldn’t have a high chance of being able to see that, and none of the fans would try to alert the authorities of this, in fact, there may come a time where the it’s revealed that the authorities do know about this, but that’s something for later depending on the voting). Also, they didn’t 100% abandon those babies, but only because they gave money to impregnate him. I felt like Bobby being abandoned by some of the men who impregnated him would be like karma for all the girls he got pregnant and also degrade him further by treating him like an object just like he did with all those girls he left pregnant. I didn’t feel right that the babies should be left behind like that, so I wrote in Doctor Mannheim who will easily support all those babies with his career. Of course, Damien will be involved in all of the babies’ lives and same for Bobby. From here till the next stream, the babies will be given baby formula, but if E is selected, then that will definitely change.
