Haha, yeah definitely man.
Viola's pure dark route ends where it began, but I have a hope that dark pathers won't truly have seen the last dark action against her, as long as they're willing to try other routes too. That's of course
if Neon continues to believe that's worth his effort. He may have decided after this last Ashe update that he's going to simplify things going forward, which is simultaneously a boon and a bummer.
And after all, we can't forget that the Ashe romance date grape probably only happened because the renders were also used for the pure dark route, so it was a very efficient use of assets from his perspective.
If Viola's dark route is truly over (and Neon has confirmed it is unless he changes his mind), adding another grape scene for her would be much less worth his time because only a niche romance-onto-dark path or corruption-onto-dark path would utilize it basically.
My hope is that he'll find the time (and desire) to pepper occasional grape "ramps" into character's normal paths every so often. There's something about the first grape in a setting of wholesome innocence that's arousing, when the character doesn't remotely see it coming (I know that sounds really fucked up, but I promise I'm innocent and normal in rl!

I'm only a POS when it comes to virtual people). A mid-romance grape here, a mid-corruption money-into-flowers-into-romance there keeps things fresh and interesting, but it also adds its own workload. I definitely don't envy Neon
