Went to sleep, showered, break from just binging this story.
Current theories (years later or whatever):
* Why does Daddy Blaze want a son at all?
* He talked about family dynasty or whatever but just his pride feels a little ramshackle of a reason
* Immortality? That's a common thing right.
* Ah, this entire story is commonly focused on body swapping. So my Big Guess is that Dad is trying to take over Tom's body.
* And my secondary guess based on that -- part of how he is ultimately foiled is Tom's kindness to Alani. IF the major body swapping is the one Tom has already done -- gender swapping between lovers -- then somehow Daddy Blaze gotta get into a woman swapping bodily fluids with Tom. Alani would be a great choice with how things are set up.
* But since Tom has privately changed how Alani talks and acts around him, and even protected that secret with magic so Daddy Blaze cannot find out, this is how it will be revealed that Alani isn't really Alani when Daddy is in her body trying to swap with Tom (forever).
