Edward also seems to love birds, taking delight when they stand on his shoulder.[2] His marriage to Patricia was arranged, but despite this he loved her dearly. He still loved her despite her affair with Yū Hirose and Takumi's birth. Unlike other members of the Walker family, he seems to hold no grudge towards Takumi. Patricia described him as being an "unreliable but kind and brilliant husband" and thought of him fondly because of this.  According to the maids, despite him being a useless father, as he himself would testify, they like him because he's soothing[3]. As claimed by him, he lost in anything he competed in. Edward is a careful and fond father, loving all the Walker Family members. He is also forgiving and isn't the type to scold someone.
