Anyone Else Think Ekko's Parents Are The Worst?

I mean, it's one thing for your kid to hang out with a bad crowd. That happens. But you don't notice that he built a time-traveling device, nearly killed a man who killed his best friend while nearly killing him, possibly killed a cyborg who was trying to kill him, and stole a clock hand from a tower in ANOTHER city?! Oh and if the shippers have their way, date a domestic terrorist. I hope there's a Dr. Phil in Zaun.

Chances are they barely get to see him at all; they likely work really long hours, like REALLY long. As in wake up early, get in late, be exhausted to the point of having something to eat and/or crashing in bed.

I mean, what are they going to do?

"Son, this may be a city based around technological innovation, but you can't build reality warping devices here." "Sir, I understand your henchman attacked my son. I insist you must stop this nonsense immediately." "Son, I realize that you wanted to avenge your friend who was untimely (heh heh heh) slain, but that is no proper conduct for a boy your age. For shame."

What da hell are you talking about, lots of parents during the industrial revolution barely saw their kids cause they worked their butts off to pay for the house and food.

Absent parental control in childhood generally produces the wildest people in this world.

It's both a good and a bad thing, depending on how you look at it.

I guess that a home like this is actually rather normal in Zaun.

Ekkos parents seem to be away all the time,most likely due to work and if Ekko doesn't tell them what happens,then they can't really do that much about it.
