I want this to be the last straw that drives Belle into a Surge-tier hate spiral. Imagine: after several arcs of being forced to accept that Eggman was apparently incapable of showing the empathy of Mr. Tinker, it's suddenly revealed he is in fact 100% capable of loving a child and accepting the responsibility of being a parent. Willing to change his behavior and beliefs for someone important to him.

Just that he never cared at all to do it for her.
