to go further into it, I think this is the kind of story that would involve the cast finding out via 3rd party that clover is alive and seeking him out themselves. I can imagine some tension with clover holding onto the fact that "you all deserved to go free" with them rebuking, possibly individually or possible only a couple of them actually meeting this realization "and you deserved to grow up without having to pay for crimes that weren't yours, and more than that we wanted you happy with us". I dont think its the kind of story that ends on a sour note but that route does lend to a lot more angst on the way while not forcing the main 3 to have brain damage.
also as a side note, I think martlet thinking it was clover who killed her when flowey backstabs her shouldn't have been how every neutral route went. if you kept the violence under a certain level she shouldn't have said that.
