Description
In Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2, Weak finds out Talia ISN'T his daughter after he's already put his life on the line trying to save her, but when it's finally time to leave Night City, he's still the one taking her away, while the man who actually shares her blood has been willing to let somebody overwrite her. This starts with Avida reaching out to Weak about getting her daughter back from Maelstrom, and since these two used to be involved, telling him that Talia is HIS child gives him a reason to take this a whole lot more personally than another job. He's already lost the body and career that made him King, so now he's finding out there's a girl out there who might need him, except when he catches up to her, Talia doesn't want to listen to some guy her mother sent to bring her home. She grew up around a father like Kiril, a Kang Tao executive who's used to deciding how things are going to go, and she's trying to live outside that control, so Weak showing up with instructions doesn't automatically make him the person she wants to trust. However, the more time he spends trying to help her, the more he learns about what she's actually going through, as her body is failing and the chrome she's getting is helping replace functions she's losing, even while it's putting her in more danger. He can't just tell her to take the implants out and expect her to be fine, and when Capri enters her body, reaching Talia becomes something he has to risk himself to do, because by this point there's a real girl in front of him who needs help, whether she wants to call him her father or NOT. This eventually leads Weak and Avida toward a plan involving Soulkiller, hoping to preserve Talia's consciousness in another body, but the attempt ends with Kiril killing Avida, leaving Weak having to tell this girl that her mother isn't coming back. And then Kiril gives him another reason to walk away, revealing that Avida lied, Talia isn't Weak's child, and all this time he's been getting dragged through something that her actual parents should've been dealing with. So does he leave her there? Of COURSE he doesn't, because finding out Avida lied doesn't undo the time he's spent with Talia, or make him forget what she's going through, and it definitely doesn't make Kiril somebody he can trust to take care of her.
