Interesting take! This is why I'm doing both, because Devon is a tricky character. I'm not sure which one is going to help him the most and which one is going to push him away further. My worry is that the getting involved will cause him to run away seeing as he hasn't even made the decision yet.
Personally, I think that the not interfere option is the way to go just based on what we know about Devon and his back story, but I suppose we'll see in the coming updates. Thanks for your response!
