** Harvey was thrown out of his house during winter for being gay. He sees his best friend and ex-boyfriend becoming closer to someone else and lashes out ruining the relationship in the process. He's still a jerk for this.

** Darius. At first when he was announced and his route started, the reception was mixed due to his perverted nature and nonchalant treatment of MC wanting a serious relationship. He became TheScrappy after a short while, but afterwards when his story unfolded and more was discovered about him, he was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap by turning him into a more complex and likable character. That said, some still haven't completely forgiven Darius over his first impressions.
