Hold on, am I getting this right? Justin had children with Amy and she named one of them for Marc? Wow. Just wow.
Yeah, I really have no idea what happened there. The game might have a sense of humor that I'm not aware of.
About Marc, I can't say that he'll die un-used. Story progression did one good thing for him.
And about Amy and Justin...

Marvin had a good laugh about his daughter growing up. It was so funny how time flew.
He was pleased with Matilde's adorable face. She was so much like her mother.
Unfortunately for Charmaine, her daughter's first birthday marked the date of her getting older.
“Honey,” Marvin said from outside the bedroom, “I'm certain you still look fine.”
“Not with this hair.”
She was still his sweet Charmaine, and as beautiful as the not-so-young lady he smooched in the elixir shop not-so-long ago after she decided on a decent hairstyle.
“I predict that you will be kissed by your hot young psychic husband right about...”
“...Now.”
No wonder he decided that he was a true mystic.
Even though her time with her daughter would be limited anyways, Charmaine was still too busy sculpting to do much with Matilde at first. Marvin taught Matilde the art of conversation while the whirr of Charmaine's chainsaw filled the air.
Sometimes Matilde thought badly of her dad's lessons.
When the adults weren't trying to teach her life skills, she loved her block table. There weren't any other toddlers in the house to share it with, but she loved building and creating with mum wielding the chainsaw just feet away.
And of course, she had to have some simple fun too.
Charmaine couldn't take it any more. She needed some time with Matilde while she was still so little and precious. She was such a happy little thing when around her mother.
It was nice to know that Matilde still loved her mum. Charmaine definitely loved her.
She did the dirty work, since the other men were doing so much to help while she sculpted. Matilde smiled at Charmaine, confident in her lesson.
But it was quickly back to sculpting. The elusive 25th sculpture was becoming not-so-elusive.

Justin ducked out to the schoolyard with Amy, his girlfriend, while the house was focused so much of sculpting and Matilde. They were together for quite a while, and they even had their own family that Justin was very proud of.
“I think you know what I want,” he said, reaching into his pocket for a ring.
“Oh my god, Justin! Yes!”
Marvin forbade Justin from marrying, but he was allowed to get as close as he could. And in fact, Marvin was thrilled for him. He even thought it was a great idea for Justin to invite his daughters over that night.
Rachael was too busy with her homework to come over. But Marci thought it would be cool to meet Justin's family away from the family.
“Wow Justin, you do have a nice house!”
As she was getting sleepy and heading out the door, Marvin just wanted to say good-bye.
“Take good care of the family,” he said.
“Don't worry, mum and Justin do a good job with it.”
“Can't you just respect him and call him dad?”
“I can call my
stepfather what I want, actually. He's fine with the first-name thing.”

- I'm always happy when an heir resembles their parent rather than my founder. I love Marvin, but one of him is enough.
- As a warning, Justin gets a good amount of story dedicated to the weirdness he got himself mired in. I never thought he'd end up where he did.
