If he had just left everything as it was—without explicitly stating the family ties, keeping Helen as his mom in name only, and never directly confirming in the text that she was his mother—I would have taken the
omertà and stayed silent. Everyone would have understood anyway. But he deliberately pointed out and emphasized that they aren’t related at all.
As was said before, incest was the backbone of the plot, and now it’s been ripped out. Everything is just the mafia now, and he’s going to use this mafia to patch up the holes between WIAB and SG—just as clumsily as all the leftover scraps of the old plot threads.
It’s sad how all the characters who once loved the MC have been turned into cynical bastards that are now easy to hate.
I still can't finish it.
