The problem with this is that Cari isn't exactly known for writing heavy drama in his work (hell, his last work basically didn't had THAT much drama, and stuck through its comedy-adventure fest story for the most part). And by heavy I mean the kind of shit that leads to ongoing conflicts or drama that spans throughout the update or multiple updates like the ones in other AVNs like, say, Leap of Faith or Summer's Gone or STWA: Unbroken. Nor do his patrons back on his Discord want to see it go that route, as they view Eternum as more of an adult mystery adventure story with dashes of comedy, horror, and drama (with the lewds as a sort of "bonus"). And knowing Cari he'll likely not overextend the heaviness of his work and will only use drama when the plot requires it, and not the other way around like in some AVNs where the drama IS the plot.

light drama works in eternum. like Dalia resenting MC for seeing her naked, or for revealing the password to her private server, or MC raping her after she repeatedly said no, or Penny feeling betrayed if MC convinces her to flash her tits to Valentino.
that level of drama can work when confronting MC for his feelings, and MC not being ready to answer. bumping him to the friendzone until he sorts his feelings out. we already have a light version of that if MC gives some hope to Annie at the start of the game but backs out and stay friends instead.

Which is why I believe a confrontation amongst Orion and the girls will lead to a quick (and by quick I mean "likely resolved in the same update") resolution instead of prolonged drama (which is what you're basically advocating by downgrading Orion's relationship to friendzone should he get confronted). Dalia herself managed to be chummy with Orion only after a brief timeskip. Nova is shown to quickly become friendly with him even after the initial hostile meeting and mistrust. Then there's also the fact that Cari has been setting up their "sisterhood" pretty early in the game, which will likely lead to the acceptance of the harem situation quite easily instead of potential infighting amongst themselves once the word gets out.

(PS. The other examples you mentioned hardly matter btw because they're essentially route ends and therefore could be considered non-canon. And Cari has never tried to pull that level of drama in the canon routes because Orion always tries to resolve or shut down the drama before it gets real heavy, as is the case of him canonically hugging Alex after she got disowned and giving Luna some pep-talk after she revealed details of her childhood.)

Honestly, even having had that chart for a while, it still surprises me that Alex is shorter than Luna AND Dalia.

Hmmm... Yeah Alex "feels tall" ...

Yeah, seems like Calypso is keeping a lot of secrets...
... ...
What if Calypso was a guy on the first place? :WutFace::WutFace::WutFace:

I say most of Calypso's fans would do this if that turned out be true:

Jokes aside, what else's she hiding? And if Calypso does fall for the protagonist and her love for him isn't reciprocated, will she have the same fate as her mythological counterpart did, at least according to Hyginus? :unsure::unsure:

Seeing some people saying Cari is trolling in some of his responses about Orion's status by the end of this update, and yet...

^He said that around the end of 0.3, and we all know how 0.4 turned out...

If Caribidis isn't trolling... for once,

This would be a trippy dark mindfuck lol
But who knows, maybe the shock of his death is what causes all the girls to accept the harem, since they're just glad that he's alive and with them :WeSmart:

She'll be revealed as a replacement created by Idriel in overseeing Eternum when all is said and done because opening Acheron results in the latter passing on with the rest of the dead into the great beyond, which is why she isn't a proper LI because by the end of the story she becomes a true immortal who will outlive Orion and the rest of the LI's, with only her memories of her adventures with them being the only things to remember them by. :HideThePain:

(And yes, this is another one of my brain's crackpot theories. And yes, I am currently caffeine-high at the moment, thank you for asking)

Part of me thinks that if he's serious about the funeral thing then maybe he can use it as a false vision* for Orion to see while he's floating around Limbo, which then extends to a vision of what happens if the Founder succeeds in completing the gems and the eventual sad fate that awaits the people he cares for**, which could be the motivation Orion needs to refuse to accept his death and thus make him defy fate and "resurrect" himself.

*Though for extra trolling/mindfuck points he could use it as his first set of sneaks for 0.8 :HideThePain:

**I mean, it sounds like the Frodo vision in Fellowship where he sees what would happen if he fails...but then I recall that Cari mentioned that the LOTR trilogy is a favorite of his, so...:HideThePain:
