You're not crazy. Been saying this since Chapter 9 or earlier. Not as much with your specifics. But definitely Seymour being interested in Lena's mom & destroying her dad (the bum) out of vengeance/jealousy or as a way to eliminate the competition. Hence Seymour's bizarre obsession with Lena who is otherwise just another dime-a-dozen hot chick to a triple-digits+ millionaire. A do-over he can control to replace the one that got away.I'm clutching at straws here but I have a strange feeling the hobo is Lena's biological dad. I think Lena's mom was caught cheating on Charles (the hobo) with Seymour. Charles found out, left Lena's mom, she ended things with Seymour, Seymour ruined Charles' life as payback. I mean he does ask her what her relationship with Seymour is. As for why he doesn't just tell her he's her dad, maybe he's just ashamed to admit he walked out on her. Which checks out since Emma says he's reserved about his past.
And Seymour's reasoning for lusting after Lena could be a sick and twisted way of exacting revenge on her parents? Sponsoring her and enhancing her career while simultaneously corrupting her so that she'll want him and then once she relents, he reveals everything then gives one last fuck you to her parents and is all "I did more for Lena you ever did" or something along those lines.
Idk just a crack theory.
Quite a few of us have been speculating that Seymour was into and rejected by Lena's mom for quite some time too, since nothing else explains such an obsession (other than a few people's incorrect theories that Seymour is actually her father. He's not, for a variety of reasons, proven in the game also).
Bum = Dad is a little less definite. I'd put down $10k on Seymour as Lena's mom's rejected suitor though. Will likely be revealed during a hospital visit or a bill paid when Lena's mom falls ill. Unless Eva starts reading these posts and cares enough to change things for seeming too obvious. This is one of the few "coincidental" plot-points I'm fine with though, since it's not really so coincidental and more of a calculated move by an obsessive control-freak. I.E. more plausible than many of the convenient "cuz red string" coincidences in the game.
