I don't want to get too deep into the themes of my own work, as by this point I believe my work speaks for itself, but an important topic for Minotaur Hotel is characters doing their best out of the wrong, unfair, and twisted situations they are in. It's an unfair world on top of which people have built self-reinforcing and unequal systems, but somehow these characters try to make things work, and oftentimes this is accomplished by acknowledging how wrong these systems are and exploiting them.

The power imbalance you bring up is part of what this story is about, and we have not finished our discussion of it. Minotaur Hotel as a work is very concerned with that — you can see it echoing, for instance, in Pedro's and Oscar's story, and in Asterion's backstory (the tablets mentioning Tithonus)

I feel confident we'll succeed in telling the story we set out to tell, and that includes further explorations on the power imbalance between the characters. This update in particular has multiple layers touching on this topic, both overt and as subtext, and I feel that we accomplished a fantastic exploration on the topic. But, ultimately, I respect your stance and your ethics. I cannot fault someone for sticking to their principles. Goodbye.
