My mother and father told me I was adopted when I was 7 years old. I believe they spared me a lot of trauma and suffering if I had it figured out later in life. I am glad for not having parents like MC.
Their crime is even worse by staging a relationship just for keeping an eye on him. This single move is unforgiveble.
Exactly!
They've set him up with woman that (depending on early choices) can turn out not to even love him.
She was just doing her job, his parents knew that, and kept their mouths shut.
There is no forgiving that. It's absurd how much mental damage that can cause to person, being in relationship with someone that doesn't love them for years, with his own parents keeping quiet about it since it makes their lives easy.
I am not running a single save with MC forgiving parents. Just can't.
Minor edit for those pedantic people around here:
technically they didn't set Kaija for him, but they sure as fuck did nothing to stop it, on either route.
They left that choice to her, even on non-love route. Fuck that shit.
