In a broad sense, I left all of Fontaine behind, as my position as the Iudex now sits empty without anyone to temporarily fulfill my duties in my absence.
If you are asking whether or not I left a romantic partner or someone cherished behind, the answer is no.
How I behave outside of court is different from how I behave when presiding. Many who have only seen me in my role as the Iudex would be disinclined to describe me as caring.
I am also an outsider to the people of Fontaine, and there are many who find me distrustful as a result.
I cannot say they are ever fully cast off. I still adhere to all the behavioral standards that come with the title and avoid fraternizing at length with anyone, otherwise my rulings may be met with accusations of bias and favoritism. It is vital I maintain the trust impressed on me by the people of Fontaine.
And I found it strange too that I was asked to fulfill this role by the Hydro Archon, yet she was adamant that I was uniquely suited to the task.
In a manner of speaking, yes. She is the leader of Fontaine and oversees the protection of its people, though all administrative duties are relegated to myself and others, as she harbors little interest in participating the day-to-day minutia of keeping Fontaine up and running.
May I ask why you came to feel ostracized from your people in your world?

You have the choice to resist those urges and forge a new path, though I understand how difficult it is to break the shackles of the past. Reincarnation does not wholly erase all sins you committed nor that were committed against you. You will always carry some part of your old self and must find a way to make peace with it.

Does that fact come as a surprise to you?
