I think it's more of a fan service. Besides, romance for Athy was never the whole point. I appreciated that we really didn't dive in too deep on that. The focus was always gonna be with her father.
Definitely agree, I actually turned my brain off for that
As someone who also loves Lucathy, chill bro. Its a silly "what if" its not canon at all, and literally all these epilogue chapters are just fanservice of course it went for the comedic route instead of being serious.
I've been thinking and fuming and thinking and fuming about that last side story since it came out. Like I get that its mostly a joke and a fun "what if" but the polygamous ending literally makes no sense. How would it ever even work when 2/3rds of the relationship fucking hate each other and are both the jealous type? Like magically they're going to suddenly get along and not fight over her attention and love??? What sort of get along sweater magic do they have??? I know I'm thinking too hard about it and I'm just a disappointed Lucas x Athy fan but it really is such a "this would totally make sense if you ignore canon and turn your brain off" chapter. I am without the necessary whimsy.
