Idk, it would have been a completely different story if AD had continued. After all, we do have that 5 years leap and who knows what their bonding would have been like in that time.
HS would have a kid of his own and while Minnie is there of course, he didn't get to raise her from birth. That experience alone would have changed him as a person. And the healing that he so desperately needed and couldn't have gotten from Babita, he would have gotten it from his daughters.
It would have been a really beautiful track to explore because we know so much of his trauma is linked to his parents. It would have been so wonderful to see his own children heal him from the scars that his parents had laid on him as a child.
It would have indeed been beautiful but for some reason KK didn't want to explore that.
The fact that they left so many of his emotions and baggage unresolved and unexplored is what's hurting me. The final door is going to be shut with Minnie leaving. I don't see HS healing at all - he has finally articulated what we've been saying about Babita and his relationship and its lack of depth. I am glad he said it to someone out loud, and Minnie understood.
I just wish his thoughts on the CD issue had been expressed but I take today's scene as encompassing all that and more.
One thing though, even if Minnie leaves in anger, I don't think she can hate him or forget him. The distance and growing a bit older will help her see him in a new light and understand things which she can't today. It will have a major impact in her dealings with Arya, for sure.
