Yeah but would you feel good then coming back and stealing her away from someone you also care for and has stayed loyally at her side for all those years as well, I guess my MC would think, I better leave for another 20 years as do that and feel like an asshole for the rest of my life.
Edit: now I am not saying devs should change their plans just for me or their own take on the chars, just with that information I guess I will pass on the Jaye path, a pity since it seemed the logical path indeed, but that is up to me and not the devs.
