While I agree all of that I am inclined to not blame her too much because of her upbringing. She clearly have very little social skills and also have traumas that she hasn't been able to find closure for. (how she is able to be an effective PI/detective considering that is a mystery).
Mostly I blame Klara who keep on lying to her own son for unclear reasons. She never tells MC about those phone calls from Emma. She never tells MC about her own connections to Hera and Aine. Then she brings the former tormentor to MC:s doorstep. Again without telling MC anything. Which is bad considering that MC has finally been able to move on from it. And even more considering how dangerous Hera is and who she knows wants to torment MC. Why does she want to put her own son in that kind of situation?
I also blame Aine more than Emma. Aine always seem to care mostly about herself. She never seems to care about Emma and her problems. She only started to somewhat defy her mother when Heras decisions affects her own life. In that scene where Hera is threatening to take away Emma from Aine, Aine only seem to care about the effects on herself, not if it would be better or worse for Emma. While Emma definitely has a lot to answer for, she at least does it for selfless reasons even if she does it in a stupid way. If her job is to serve the best interest of Aine, the most important consideration she should have is to get Aine out from the influence of Hera.
It's strange and interesting how we all get our own reactions to the different characters.
I know some seriously dislike Klara because of what she's done. I can't say I like it or disagree with you but I haven't had enough interaction with her to form too much of an opinion on her either. While I think it was really shit of her to let them move in and surprise him, I kind of see why she didn't tell him, but still disagree with it. I'm assuming she knows he's moved on like he's said several times and from Emma's calls knows the girls situation, so I figure she's trying to put them together to heal up.
I can't say I got that vibe from Aine. I forgave her pretty quickly. When she was telling Fraya about how bad she felt about him without knowing it was him, was enough remorse, plus when he confronted her she showed it and apologised to him.
Emma has done nothing. The only thing she cares about is Aine and not losing her, so she's made her choice and chose her over the MC. Heck she didn't even care that Gwen lost the business, if anything I wouldn't be surprised if she had a hand in it because it just helped her with her plan. She doesn't even care what he thinks of her plan or how he feels, as long as she gets what she wants.
I'm going to save the exact opinion I have of Hera to learn more about her story, but for now she has little or no chance to be LI, at least on my part.
She has zero chance for me. If she becomes a LI, it will be a deal breaker and the point I walk away from the game. There is nothing that can justify her actions or excuse her behaviour. I don't even want her to suffer or punish her, though I'd love for her to lose everything and be broken at the end. Right now I'm almost like the MC from MNF with regard to her... I feel nothing. She's not worth wasting any feelings or emotions over. Though if she ends up as a crack whore living on the streets giving $2 bj's to pay for her next fix, I won't be sad.
