Personally I don't need a character to grovel in apology for their past actions in order to find them relatable, interesting or sympathetic. I'm also inclined to think that there's plenty of threads present in advance to suggest that a character is worthy of a second look instead of being immediately branded 'unforgivable' and 'unhinged'.

I'm reminded of Yotsuyu and how many here claimed she had zero redeeming qualities or reason for doing what she did only for 4.3 to further highlight already present elements of her backstory and suddenly the tune changed quite drastically.

I suspect we'll see a similar situation come into play with Fourchenault.
To her dying breath I hated Yotsuyu, her only saving graces was she made Goesetsu a better character, all my dialogue choices always reflected that, I cared about Goesetsu not Yotsuyu or Tsuyu, her other saving grace is her boss fight is fun.

Fourchenault did a jerk move here but he isn't irredeemable like Yotsuyu was, I believe he disowned his children to manipulate them into coming home, I am positive he knows his own daughter well enough to know she is headstrong and would want an answer from him, now whether or not he wants them to come home for their protection or to change the Forum's mind on something he personally doesn't approve of is pure speculation.

That said I do still want to call him out or punch him because he looked down on my character the man was a jerk.
