Yes, they could have explored his track in a beautiful way but the drawer shutting was it. It was all there, Gur. He knew what the future held for them. Also, I think the writers wanted to leave his backstory with us in an 'if only' mode.
It's just ironic that Babita said a few days ago she'd forever feel guilty if Minnie were to leave because she couldn't give her a loving home, yet we get all this. She doesn't deserve this at all.
Right now, HS has ended up in a similar kind of marriage as Babita had with Ashok, hollow, empty. I just cannot believe this. He won't be able to do anything about it. I think having Arya would be a good distraction and I see him again taking on a major part of the parenting and potentially shielding her from being taught in Babita's ways.
