Not gonna lie, I love how Netease made their relationship unhealthy. In that kind of situation being surrounded by so much abuse, who in their right mind could ever end up with a perfect romantic relationship? They're two people running from maniacs who get off from torturing and manipulating their patients. And from a viewer's perspective, it'd be so cliched too if the devs made their dynamic that flat. I like that there's plenty of room for them to learn and grow as characters.

Why are everyone thinking it's toxic wtf??? She is helping him so much, and they didn't have any other way! What are the options? Leaving him being tortured? Ignore him? Guys, most couples out there have a lot of problems, nobody is perfect, but they truely love each other so what's the problem? As Dr. Lillian Glass, a California-based communication and psychology expert defined a toxic relationship as “any relationship [between people who] don’t support each other, where there’s conflict and one seeks to undermine the other, where there’s competition, where there’s disrespect and a lack of cohesiveness.” I don't know you, but I don't think any of this checks on their relationship. People call everything they don't like "toxic" nowdays...

[@marky6999]

whether he wanted it or not, his life would be a thousand times worse without her, she qualifies as an escape from that hell

[@keremwashere3982]

I’m starting to think like that too

[@dc-zz9jb]

its bad because it is literally unethical. a relationship between a doctor and a patient is an abuse of power; there is a clear power imbalance, which is what makes the dynamic and their relationship unhealthy. yes, ada wants to help him, but due to her role as his caretaker and the fact that she has full control over him (the hypnotherapy) is what makes this unhealthy and “toxic”.

[@dc-zz9jb]

and the fact that emir cannot consent properly, as he is clearly not in the right mental state to be making his own decisions. he trusts ada *because* of the hypnotherapy.

[@oonooooooooo]

it’s a patient-doctor relationship, the power imbalance is uncomfortable. it’s like a teacher-student relationship, except she can control him and he is mentally unstable, while she is responsible for caring after him.

[@girmies8965]

I wouldn't call their relationship toxic just really complicated. They're obviously not the healthiest couple out there but at the same time it's evident in the video that they care for one another regardless of their power imbalance. Their relationship is very morally grey but I wouldn't call it downright abusive or toxic. It's not black and white yall

[@hazardsuit2116]

That's what I'm talking about it's not bad. But at the same time it's not holy mother of they're so cute let's MARRY THEM. Coming from someone who's been in a relationship I'll be honest not every relationship is healthy they start of unhealthy and they basically will always have that period where its gonna drastically change to better then return back to toxic. It's what I call period and not everyone will be in the same mood everyday. I pretty much say its like 50/50 here.

So let’s get this straight.. Emil was being kept in a torturing center and Ada got him out of it and helped him escape to go stay with her where she alone will try to help him recover. However that is unhealthy because Emil should have gotten professional care, and now Emil is just completely obsessed and reliant on Ada alone, and at the end Ada made some deal with a businessman about who knows what but it definitely had something to do with Emil. Tell me if I’m misunderstanding anything.

[@asternaut8254]

I'm pretty sure that's it!

[@ihavenosanityleft]

I think you're right. Though, I'm not sure if Emil *could* get professional care without Ada's help. If she was truly in the right, she would have gotten him professional care, I believe.

[@starstruckmanic]

Business man thing was probably for the Manor, "Paradise" was meant to not scare Emil anymore than what he already is, so he can be calmer and not scared, you could even hear the voice of emil being scared about whzts gonna happen

[@studiocapone6313]

Considering the scene, the professional help definitely wasn’t good at all. Keep in mind the game doesn’t take place in modern days so… the general opinion towards mental illnesses was definitely bad and ignorant back then, doctors weren’t as scientifically progressed and informed as they are now so she’s definitely in the right for getting him out of there. Just think about asylums and electroshock therapy, that’s pretty much what was happening

Ada is doing genuinely everything in her power (and everything available in the time period) to help the person she loves, I'm genuinely confused as to why this is considered toxic?

[@rymck9847]

I think the reason people are calling it toxic mostly is because, in the story that came out for them, it said Emil was the first patient that reacted positively to Ada’s hypnotherapy and that’s why she initially felt she had to take him with her. It’s also got a lot to do with the power imbalance, it’d kinda be like you dating your therapist or doctor. Don’t get me wrong, I think these two are cute as hell - I’m a big sucker for characters having partner abilities. I wouldn’t say it’s toxic, just unhealthy. But let’s be honest tho, it’s kinda realistic - relationships aren’t black and white, they aren’t your standard cookie cutter Disney shit, people from all different walks of life can come together and fall in love. No relationship is ever easy and clean all the time, and it doesn’t seem like Ada downright abuses him - she’s trying to help it’s just executed poorly.

lobotomy was performed on him. lobotomy was used as treatment for mental illness because at the time, they didnt have any medications or proper treatments to help. they knew that the issue was located within the brain and so they practiced very dangerous surgeries in hopes of it working. thats all i know about lobotomy, though. it would kill or even mess up the patients even more because of how unsafe it was.

Update: To all the people in the comments, I've been told by a lot of people that there's a toxicity to it due to Emil not really being able to make his own decisions (cause of lobotomy and hypnotherapy) Yeah, Ada may have his best interest at heart, but also, at the end of the day, Emil will have trouble making his own choices because of it and is almost entirely dependent on Ada.

The story is kinda complicated but quite adorable Basically ada (therapist) felt so bad about the patient since he kept being in pain with the needle treatment that he gets so she took him away and handled him herself at first the whistle hypnosis (her therapy/ability ingame) kind of worked but slowly it's progress got slower till suddenly it does not work anymore because the more she tries to treat him the more the patients bad memories come back to him then when all hope is lowering they were invited to the manor and they intended to join the trials since the guy behind it promised that it could give them money but she did not know what actually awaits them there... Also added bonus that the only thing that what's keeping the patient from being insane was the therapy and his interest for the therapist... Basically they like each other but they never told it to each other.... Saddening since the trial gave them the paradise...

The way I see it: Emil was an orphan who was attacked by dogs in underground dog fights for the entertainment of sadistic crooks. Because of it he gained a very severe case of PTSD and was incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital where healing methods would be seen more as torture than treatment. Ada, feeling bad for how Emil was treated, decided to break him out of the hospital and try to treat him with her hypno-therapy. The treatment was working fine until Emil’s brain started to develop an immunity to the hypnosis, but that wasn’t going to stop Ada from trying to heal Emil, her patient and beloved. Then one day, a mysterious messenger arrived and presented a invitation that states that if Ada partake in a game, she could be rewarded with a miracle method that could cure Emil’s trauma and allow the two lovers to be together.

it's not toxic or problematic at all, we can say it is just an unhealthy relationship, but there's nothing wrong with it because they had no other choice, ada couldn't abandon him to get tortured to death in the asylum... the reason why emil is dependent on ada is because they are escapees from an asylum, they dont have freedom so ada can't risk emil encountering any danger. ada isn't using him as a lab rat she's just trying to use her own methods which are less painful than the treatments they used on emil in the asylum (they were using painful methods like electroshock therapy there) also emil accepted ada's treatment it's not like ada forcefully uses her methods on him so i don't think there's anything wrong with it. she only wanted the best for him and that's why they went to the manor together to find a cure for him because she was aware that they were going nowhere with her own methods (it didnt end really well tho thanks to orpheus...) i hope this helps! please don't listen to the people who say the ship is toxic or ada is a manipulator etc. they're usually people who don't bother reading the lore

If anyone has watched the show “Ratched” you’d understand the “relationship” or the given points of their characters; the reasoning to emi’s treatments were of those back then were doctors were finding ways to cure people of AHDH, being gay, seizures and other issues that existed back in the time where medicine for those things never existed or were properly examined, Ada has to establish a relationship with Emi inorder to “treat” him because at the time Ada and Emi are from the year 1940’s-1950’s where lobotomies were created to “rid patients of illnesses” Ada as a doctor is infatuated with wanting to be the first doctor to complete a successful lobotomy because at the time over 200,000 of these were done with half of them not being successful completely paralyzing the patient themselves; Ada and Emi are both from the UK as treatment with electrician and boiling baths to “cure” patients were mainly based in United Kingdom Ada cares for Emi which is why she goes through with a lobotomy because she’s trying to “rid” him of his illness; mind you at the time lobotomy’s were given left in right even practiced in-front of a whole group of doctors to showcase the procedures, the only reason Ada wants Emi to herself is because she can’t stand seeing Emi get tortured and traumatized, she would hypnotize him because again at the time doctors would do this to help a patient find where certain trama was met; seeing as what she is doing so far isn’t successful she goes through the lobotomy which is what we see at the end, before going off in eachother atleast do your research before trying to “spit facts” the whole fandom whines n cries abt toxic relationships as if the game itself isn’t horror filled: the only reason Harley X joker exists is because the show in itself is a whole lot series about bad people and good people Harley x Joker within the fandom will exist because they were the iconic duo partner within the time the comics even reached the shelves: the only reason why people romanticize them is because their captivating stories through the whole serious from start and finish hence why Harley is no longer seen with joker and a new character is now jokers sidekick, y’all need to stop fighting over a ship in a horror game understandable ships are allowed n stuff but when something is clearly cannon let it be and go in your way half of you guys are too young to even process certain behavior
