Before you mention it, yes I deleted a comment, sorry 
we're just getting closer and closer to the end that I'm being more careful about what I say
But I think this scene was kinda supposed to happen from the start.
The original scene ended with the emotionless kiss and with them just silently walking apart, but it felt so wrong and depressing that I had to change it. It also felt very out of character for Abigail, who generally does her best not to leave people in a depressed state of mind. So... the original scene was COOL, but for the characters I've specifically written, this felt like the way to go.
... Like I said, I avoid writing romance like a plague, but this time I felt that it was necessary. And it's not exactly romance imo, it's just... one last parting gift, I guess?
It generally takes emotion to bring out emotion in someone else, I think. Otherwise Victor was just going to walk into the house as a machine. Therefore this happened. He basically got emotional CPR
And Mary and Atlas were never supposed to be a thing 💀 let's make that very clear
