Galwen is not wrong, but there seem to be conflicting truths here...

It is a blessing that Elrond, at least, somehow managed to make the best of things.

We always do wonder why those of Maedhros and Maglor's followers that remain remain, don't we? Excellent look at the complications of this whole set-up, and how uncomfortable it would be for all the adults here to see Elrond and Elros even passingly considering them "family" after what they did to the Doriathrim, and to Elwing in particular. But ofc Elrond is just a kid, and kids will adapt to a situation to try to get what they need out of it. I think him having this discussion with a party not Maedhros or Maglor made this particularly powerful in that we can see how the rest of the group may have felt about what went on with the twins. Nicely done!
