The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: 1. When you talk about Weiss or Mercury, it is all about them and their relationship with their family member, plus it is established to be a continuous string of acts. 2. Whatever her relationship with Adam was like, Blake had a loving home she could go back to at any time. By no means was she bound to Adam except by choice. There is a different dynamic involved with family. 1. Blake mentioned Adam's manipulative behavior to Yang before, though. In The Coming Storm, she said "Adam's strong, but his real power comes from control. He used to get in my head, make me feel small. But now I see he just wanted to pull me down to his size."

She outright states that Adam was controlling and that he used to "get in [her] head", in other words manipulate her.

2. She could've gone back to them at any time, yes, but she either didn't want to or would have felt guilty doing so, considering the last time she had seen them, she had yelled at them and called them cowards for leaving the White Fang:

Blake: (emotional) You were right. I shouted at you and yelled at you. (looking up at him) But you were right. I called you cowards!

''Remorsefully, she lowers her head closer to her father. He holds her''.

Ghira: It's okay.

Blake: (pulling back) I should have left the White Fang with you and Mom. I should've listened to you, and I'm sorry. (turning away) I'm so, so sorry.

At the time, she was mad at them and believed they had abandoned the White Fang's cause, like Adam mentioned in his character short.
