The base premise really does require you to invoke that PS1 era early internet everyone was just theorizing on how to save Aerith days huh?
Because nowadays, let's be honest, someone would've datamined the game and already determined all the options and speedrunners would've found how to just glitch the fight and bypass everything to get to the end credit with arbitrary code input or something.
The author is probably a millennial who dreams of such a plot, this is also a manga about mecha that has been unpopular for a long time, so this once again says that this is a millennial plot.

As I understand it (so take everything that follows with a huge grain of salt), Japan is extremely hands-off when it comes to family matters that don't directly affect the public; you know all those manga and anime where a side character is getting abused or is being forced to marry or something, the protagonist tries to help, and then gets shut down by being told it's a "family matter" and, thus, none of their concern?

Same thing. Japan (and most Asian countries) is big on familial piety, so if it's another family's affairs, it's considered to be nobody's business but their own. It's why things like hikikomori even exist... Well, that and it's "shameful", so any issues like that (and every other mental health issue) just doesn't get talked about.

This isn't universal, obviously, and manga tends to exaggerate most things with a real life basis, but a general rule of thumb is that "if it's a family matter, everybody should just mind their own business" applies unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Baby cry > neighbors call the police > child protection.
Yeah, it's that annoying.
Depending on the prefecture child protection got dialed up to 11

Yep. Had a principal call CPS on my mom when I was in elementary, because my mom didn't shelter me and the dick felt some of the things I knew at that age was "abusive"; she told me the origin of a baby pillow I had (and still have in my 30s) after I asked, which is that she bought it while stationed in Hawaii for my older brother, who ended up stillborn.

Sure, that's a pretty heavy topic for a 10 year old, but not exactly "abusive". Luckily, the CPS agent agreed and dropped the whole thing.
