I politely disagree. Elea's dad sounded like a decent dad.
Linnae chose the Templars over her family. Her and her husband made a difficult choice right or wrong. Linnae has plenty of regrets over it all. I think she is less a bad parent and more someone who made a tough decision and sacrificed her life for a her family. Whether that decision is right or wrong is up to the player, but I give her kudos for trying to do the right thing as she saw it. It didn't involve lying and manipulating her child for its entire life...
Regret after action is still after action.
She made a decision to focus on her job and leave her family. Or more precisely, they left (assumption is they, as it was never explicitly mentioned it's son/daughter/whatever, husband is only known entity) after she was told to make a choice.
But I admit, that is my personal bias as I've known a kid growing up whose mom left him and how often he'd be sad while we were young.
I absolutely loathe parents that abandoned their children. Words cannot describe how much hatred I feel for those people.
That's kind of why I'll never like Linnae, no matter how nice she acts (which I also don't trust, but that's different topic).
I'll say one thing, still think she was BETTER parent than MCs parents, considering their actions had good chance of actively ruining their sons life, so at least she "just stayed away".
But, as far as we know, she didn't contact her child (if there is one) after husband left. So child grew up with 1 parent only.
On topic of Elea's dad, yep, by all accounts he was amazing, so I was wrong in saying all parents in this VN sucked so far.
Huh, so there's even a chance that only good parent in game is the one who decided he wants nothing to do with Templars (if Linnae is Elea's mom).
