Crazy mist

Error's parents are named Ambrose and Glitz. I keep referring to them by "father" and "mother" in the flashbacks because I began those scenes that way and it kinda feels really... limiting, in a way. It forces you inside Error's head and not keeping you as much of an outside spectator in my opinion

As what can be gathered from the flashback scenes, Ambrose held a really high-ranking political position in the town they used to live in. He was a really respected member of society and government, so was sort of the person you couldn't really say "no" to

Glitz's magical ability made her a sort of "black sheep" who people didn't believe or trust. Ambrose saved her from her abysmal reputation and made her more trustworthy. But this newfound stable life became more like a prison the longer time went on

Ambrose had a horrific childhood. If you looked in a dictionary for the definition of "religious trauma," his face would be there. Sadly though, the scars of the past will catch up to you and you can inevitably end up repeating the cycle of abuse; even if you successfully buried and left behind some of the trauma inflicted on you

From the same perspective, Glitz didn't really have a good childhood either... Let's just assume everyone in the Couloir family is thoroughly traumatized

Glitz tended to see the best in people to her detriment. That made Ambrose's love bombing really effective

Fresh almost didn't get adopted, but because of Glitz's soft spot for children, she was able to convince Ambrose to take in a disabled toddler

Ambrose followed traditional gender roles and "societal etiquette" to a toxic degree. If you strayed or deviated from these rules, he looked down on you

Glitz wasn't originally from Ambrose's town. She sort of "ended up" there as a child
