The problem I have with this, is that the storyline as it stands, just doesn't support this. If Marc is 18, then there is no need for a custody battle between Myriam and Anthony, because in California Marc is judged to be an adult already, and able to make his own decisions. Simply put, there wouldn't be a court case to determine something, that was already decided by Marc being 18. There are only 3 states in the USA where the age of majority is over 18 ( Alabama, Mississippi and Nebraska), none of which could be where the game is set. So unless you're prepared to totally ignore this part of US law, and set the game in some fantasy dimension, saying that Marc is over 17 doesn't make any sense, unless you remove the custody battle from the game.About your reference to turning 18, the problem is that at the start, there was some ambiguity on age, that Zorlun decided in the end to sort out by explicitly saying both Katherine and him are already 18 at the start of the game.
Zorlun can say that Marc is over 17, and I fully understand why he wants to do that ( because so many US states set the age of consent at 18, and he's trying not run foul of Patreon rules). But unfortunately, the game as it stands, suggests that Marc is definitely under 18.
