Time Gap and Powers Plot Questions (Spoilers)

[Ataraxias]

Rosemary is 35 in Tormented Fathers.
Linn in Broken Porcelain is 16.

Is there any reason why it took her 19 years to go to the Feltons to look for Jennifer?
Additionally, why does she not have any kind of ability to deal with the moths in Tormented Fathers?

Is this just convenient Alzheimer's?

Phenoxyl does away with painful memories. Rosemary is struggling to remember. It's a recurring theme with a lot of characters.

Ok. I can understand that as the reason she forgets having powers in Tormented Fathers.
But then there's the strange development of:

1. Gloria says she will kill the Felton's.
2. Celeste is going to the Felton's.
3. Celeste doesn't show at the contest.
4. Linn, knowing these 3 facts decides not to quickly go to the Felton's with powers that override Gloria's.

There's tons there that isn't explicitly explained, but to play devil's advocate: if it were my baby and I were explaining it away, I'd say that since Celeste *intended* to show up at the contest, disclosing her address in case she got into trouble might not have crossed her mind, so maybe Linn had no idea where to look, and all she could do is keep coming back to the contest.

Maybe she ran into money troubles? For a 16 year old girl in 1973 Italy, maybe she had more immediate struggles to consider? Employment, food, lodgings? Maybe during her financial/living struggles, her memory loss began to overtake her? After all, Jen mentions that she "can't remember" who she is, despite only having disappeared ~2 years prior; phenoxyl side effects seem to work fast.

Maybe if there's a third game, it'll explain. Maybe not!

@Ataraxias, i will try to answers your questions bellow:

1. Gloria decided to blame not just her brother, Stefano, but also all the others as well. Then, she swore to kill Celeste's "parents", cause doing this she would hurt Celeste and get her revenge against the Feltons & Gallo. If you played the first game, you saw she really managed to do it.

2. Initially, Celeste intented to follow her path with Linn, however, after Glória had swore to kill her parents, whom she loved too much, she had no other choice but come back home trying to protect them. Neverthenless, Gloria was able to control Celeste's parents anyway, and if Celestes had stayed home any longer Gloria would have killed her too. Thus, she managed to escape home (by a second time) helped by her mother who was killed by Felton, which was being controlled by Gloria's powers.

3. Celeste said to the interviewer at the beginning the game that family secrets are hard to keep and she decided to do what everybody wanted her to do: forget the past, leave everything behind. Then, somehow she erased everything from her memory, but sometimes a song or some things brought back the memory of Linn and everything else.

4. Linn had no powers. She always was just a minion.
It is explained in the game video that the default structure of the mothes control is: There's a leader (Wyman) who control a "medium" (Gloria) which is an intermediary to crontrol all the others (minions). However if the "medium" (Gloria) becomes too much influenty, it will manage to get inside the Leader's mind and controls him, while all the others (minions) will be locked in a hipnotic loop which will take place from time to time. If this happens, its called "broken porcelain", and was what happened when Gloria overcome Wyman. To stop the Broken Porcelain, defeat Glória and stop the hipnotic loop, is necessary the arising of a new leader (Celeste), which is believed to be Celeste, who is Aryana's daughter, whose mother took too many doses of Phenoxyl during her pregnancy. Then, Celeste was born able to resist at the effects of the hypnotic looping. At the end of the game, Celeste was finally able to overcome Gloria becoming the new leader and controlling the "porcelain" (Wyman). Gloria remembered everything and swore revenge on everyone. She burned what left of the "porcelain" (wyman), mutilated her brother Stefano and ran away to kill Celeste's parents. Those who had the power was Wyman, then Gloria, and finally Celeste. All the others were just minions being puppets from time to time, which includes Linn. Instead of goes after Celeste, she decided wait for her comes after her, while she gathered information about the "other Celestes".
