I truly pity the yellow child. I think the author went too far with this villain arc for her. At the end of the day, that’s a child with no parental figures who could guide her towards a better path. Her father, the one who showered her with love ended up only using her. Her mother is barely there. Her grandfather? No concern for her at all. I know we barely see yellow child’s family situation so I am making assumptions based on the little we have seen but it’s just not a great feeling to see a child being pushed into a corner. I’m not trying to excuse her actions but I think I just hated seeing a child look so unloved.
I think the bigger point I’m trying to make is - it’s kinda weird to write a lovely child-rearing story and in the same breath, write about a child who is villainised and lowk abused by adults.
still aside from that, it’s still a very lovely story and I hope author will give cleatie a kinder arc as the story progresses
But we don’t see how grandpa was in her life and she was already horrible and trying/succeeding at physically harming people she was born with love and even knowing how important that was to her she took every opportunity to hurt luatisha and even dragging in other kids to achieve that
