I've tried to resist this thought for so long because I really want this to work out, but DPC might be more of a pain merchant than we ever thought possible before who seems to be fond of no-win scenarios and if something like this happens, it will break me.
Starting to really wonder what is wrong with DPC that they think doing this sort of thing with apparent no-win scenarios, heartbreaking emotion, and gut-punch reveals is something that people want or will like in their escapist, adult VN fantasies. It doesn't have to be all flowers and rainbows, we can take some drama, but it doesn't haven't to be this difficult.
