>>3028679Lena is a mature, well-adjusted young woman who is more than capable of defining her own self-interest and taking the initiative to act upon it. Therefore, if she chooses to be with anyone, she has made an informed decision based on what was best for herself, and I respect my waifu's decisions. If you can't like her for her own sake, can you at least tolerate her for Lena's?
She /does/ deserve better, but in the sense that she deserves to see all her work and dedication pay off and matter instead of constantly collapsing into futility and ruin all around her. Emily is the rock that holds her upright through all this, and for that she has my respect.
