I think people often forget that this isn't "Haley's Brother's Story," this is "Haley's Story."
Whatever her path is, that's the story the devs meant to tell. Players only have the MC's agency (which isn't much; this is much more a story than it is a game, even though we have two branches and are probably about to acquire a third), but the actual main character of this story isn't the MC or the player, it's Haley.
I've said this before, but if I was helming this game I'd embrace the fact that their relationship is doomed and break them up no matter what as the canonical ending. Thereby making everyone hate me and ruining any chance I had to write another game in a way even more permanent than Dr.PinkCake. But I'd be secretly thrilled.
Fantasies aside, though: an ending in which they go their separate ways is very adult and very logical and I hope the devs include it as a possibility.
