I think everybody is a bit confused here.
I think
Havik79 is talking about Alex' side story and he's right about that. It *IS* a kick in the nut, especially if there is nothing that Alex or the MC (for Thirty Days) can prevent things from happening.
That said, it's a non-canon commissioned side story and therefore should not have any influence on the main story. So if you don't like that content, don't play it and it probably shouldn't bother you that it's out there. Still I get the feeling, because if you see something, it's difficult to un-see it and in any case it confuses people.
The part about Ava, I agree with
3DRComics it's backstory and nothing to get too upset about.
