#i think the owg profile also summarises it as being strictly bc of the watch too

I complained about this in that reference document but Julius’ childhood is a nightmare of contradictions:

In-game, according to Rideaux, Julius left the Bakur family specifically because of his mother’s death. He would have been 6 years old at the time, so... uhhhh. No. Then again, Rideaux might just be lying because why not.

The in-game mission logs (and the Scenario Book) also have Julius try and impress Bisley as a Chromatus user, meaning he had to have stayed on good terms with Bisley for at least five years after Cornelia’s death

Which isn’t really a contradiction it’s just a weird point because the Perfect Guide’s timeline says that Julius was an illegitimate child for the first five years of his life until Bisley became CEO of Spirius and married Cornelia and. I don’t know. I feel like if Cornelia married Bisley and then literally died the next year, Julius would not be that admirative of him for taking his mother away and being a deadbeat dad.

Then again the Scenario Book doesn’t seem to treat the timeline as canon, Claudia is the one who takes care of Julius explicitly because Bisley is too busy (Cornelia isn’t even mentioned by Julius outside of her death). Maybe Julius doesn’t remember his childhood correctly...

So yeah I’m taking a hammer to this canon (and especially to the Perfect Guide timeline because I refuse to address the fact that Bisley was 14 when Julius was conceived) and making up my own fanon for this because whaaaaaaaaaaat
