I feel some of these comments are too harsh on the MC and the writing (at least for now). I think her behavior is very much in line with someone who has suffered lifelong abuse, trauma, and, as far as we know, betrayal. In her mind, people are not to be trusted. Any benevolence is either an act or can be taken away. Anyone can turn on you at any moment no matter how long you've 'known' them. Once you are seen as useless you will be beaten or thrown away. She's spent most of her reincarnation pretty much with only Molly (and she still views her as someone that can be taken from or abandon her at anytime). Now, she being confronted with more uncertainty than she has had to deal with in the last 3 years, re-triggering her bad memories. Her need for constant reinforcement that she is finally with safe people is realistic to me.
