He also talks a lot about how he is stuck in the grove and how happy he is on the journey with Tav. It seems to me that there should be an option to develop his nature, the wild, untethering nature. Tav should have a dialogue option, ok let's help the kids, we'll make them a home in Thaniel's land and whoever wants to stay there if the role suits him. The second option is, for example, let's help the children temporarily and let's hit the road, free and wild. Otherwise, there is no consideration what's right for the player. Other romances from what I've read give more decision-making power to Tav at the end. Halsin, if you're having an affair with him, says of many hikes, that he's seen the world. In the epilogue, I had the impression that he wasn't that happy after all. Rather, he is full of fear, doubts, also about whether Tav wants such a life. What's the harm in doing this alternative option without an orphanage?
