Fans of Stardew Valley will know that Robin and Demetrius have two kids, or at least Robin does. When talking to Maru, she will admit that Sebastian is only her half-brother, not that it wasn't physically obvious given the fact that Sebastian is as pale as a ghost while Maru is considerably more tan. Is it possible that it's because Sebastian spends most of his time in his room? It doesn't help, but I believe there's something deeper going on with the household that's more than meets the eye. If Maru herself admits Sebastian is her half-brother, then who is Sebastian's father? If you look at the list of townsfolk, there's not a whole lot of people who match Sebastian's complexion, Jas looks similar along with... Shane...
Obviously we can rule out Jas as a potential because of the fact she's approximately 5-10 years old and female.
Now, Shane on the other hand, he's approximately in his 40s and bears a striking resemblance to Sebastian. This is confirmed that Shane is considered an elder bachelor after finding a secret note including him in the list with Elliott and Harvey. So, if this is true, what happened to Robin and Shane's relationship? How did he become one of the elder bachelors?
Let's go back 20 some odd years. We see Robin and Shane clinking mugs together, celebrating, happy, a wonderful future about to unfold in front of them. Robin becomes pregnant and they panic, their living situations needing a major change if they were to have a child together. Robin's business wasn't doing as well as she hoped given the fact nobody is asking for construction work so Shane scrambles, asking around town for employment. With no one hiring, Shane and Robin fall on a stressful time as they do their best to provide for the kid on the way.
Enter JojaMart. They move into town, and send out fliers that they need employees to stock their shelves, it isn't much, but it's enough to catch Shane's attention as he applies for a "temporary" solution. That's when the lovely couple hit the bump that changed everything.
At the beginning of his career, Shane realized JojaMart wasn't a job where he could grow and change. As the pressure he's under took stock, it begins to quickly lead him to have a drink after work, at first.
Over time, Shane became miserable as he worked several hours and days at a time. One drink after work becomes two as Shane slips into alcoholism. Robin is left in their new home alone and pregnant, waiting.
As Shane continues down his self-destructive path, Robin finds him in the bar at a late hour of the night and they fight about it.
Soon, Demetrius moves into town, studying the strange phenomenon of the green rain that happens occasionally in Stardew Valley.
As he and Robin get to know each other, she falls in love with him while Shane works and drinks his days away.
Eventually, Robin breaks the news to Shane that they should see other people, sending Shane even further into his spiral. This could explain his hardened demeanor towards Farmer and his consistency on standing alone in Stardrop Saloon.
As Robin moves on, Shane is left, alone and broken as everything he loves and cares about becomes another man's life.
I don't believe Robin even tells Sebastian who his real father is or the sacrifices he made to provide for his kid, they pass by each other occasionally and sometimes Shane will see his son shop at his place of work. Shane wants to tell him, but is sworn to secrecy under Robin's wishes...
As far as Sebastian knows, his father was never in the picture and he will probably never find out the truth...
