Even from the very beginning, I never got the impression that Ella didn't care about the MC. She initially came off as an annoyingly vague plot device meant to keep the early lore ambiguous IMO. As a result, I only interacted with her when the story forced me to. However, I always got the impression that early on there was a least a small amount of pride that she had in the MC. You can clearly see it in the Jake Arc. From the conversions that Jake would have with the MC, and with himself, it was clear that Ella talked about the MC off-screen A LOT.
i mean she has an obvious reason to talk about mc alot in front of jake and it's for the same reason that she implanted false memories in him to try and drive a wedge: to make jake go against the mc to accelerate one or both of their growths and because unlike mc who showcases traits she admires (bravery creativity intelligence adaptability and loose morals with a surprisingly fast growth rate) jake is just a bag of neuroses from years of bullying self-hatred and having only 1 friend that she finds pathetic so of course she treats the one she respects better. Pride in someone that is essentially an "investment" is absolutely normal but that isn't "caring" let alone "loving" even platonically. i do think current ella both as her actual self and the doll care about us but i don't believe that of early game Ella.
