I guess the thought that she forgot her past didn't cross his mind. Though it's fair that he wasn't thinking straight, she disappeared for a year and all she knows is that Erika he's looking at is the Erika he knows. I wonder if he'll have to find a way to recover her memories or make news ones with the body he has now.

I’m wondering if his daughter would even want to go back even if her memories were restored. This is her chance to have a new life, and he’s messing it up for her for all the wrong reasons.

Like, if his daughter decided that she wanted to make a clean break with her old life and moved overseas, would a father have any right to rip a daughter away from the life she chose and created for herself?

It’d be one thing if he’s trying to take her away because he knows that Erika is being used as a pawn by an oppressive, near-genocidal regime, and he wants to show her the truth face of the nation.
But he’s not thinking about any of that, and just wants to take her back to the life she hated, and the world where he’d leave her at home alone again.

She doesn't even need to forget her past. How in the world is she supposed to know who the robot is? From her POV, a giant, stalker robot attacked her entourage and started going on and on about how he dreams of her. That is top-tier stranger danger right there.

Oofa...

Now that was a complete cluster fuck of a chapter. Can't really blame the MC for catching the idiot ball and running with it, it has been a year plus since his daughter went missing. But as other have said, you would think he would clue into being in a mechanical body, and looking nothing like his otherworld human self.

Then we get to the portion of the chapter where he looses all power to resist. Dud was tearing bots to prices with his bare hands before spotting his daughter and suddenly a year two is able to not only safely extract the princess from his arms, but also restrain him for minutes as the crowd looses their shit and the daughter is hoisted into the air.

The scene suffered greatly as a result, while it felt like his erratic actions were somewhat justified, the restrictions placed on his movement were poorly executed leaving the scene feeling halfassed.
