It goes against my personal policy to point out things like this, but I would note she said pretty much this exact thing. In the afternoon discussion: "I've been distressed for a long time over this, and don't want to keep selling weapons". In the evening, she elaborated with, "I feel like my hands are covered in blood and I'm responsible for countless deaths".
Characterization discussion,mine!
She said "I wanted you to find a way to stop selling weapon", and then just after went "I'm going to stop selling weapon, i'm ready and prepared in advance to fight a legal battle and you have no legal claim upon the Pangolin Scroll because Uplift never existed" without asking us to help her.
Let's be clear, It's completely in-character for her, because she finds no utility in herself, so of course her mind goes there at the first sign of problems, i mean it's what she would do! She would take the scroll, and cast herself out of the clan because she's useless and so on...
It's also completely insulting to the people she decided to
make family, because she knows that it's not true,
she knows it, but it was easier for her to follow her fears and armor up than trust us.
Frankly put, this right here it's bigger than any social blunder that Hazou made, even bigger than the killbox, as far as "Why" the blunder happened.
She quite willingly decided to not trust everyone in the family, (Aside from her girlfriend, i would like to note, just to rub it in the difference), not because she had any reason to, but simply because it's was easier for her.
This is the kind of thing that hurt people, badly, the fact that she is gambling with the well-being of everyone is just the icing of the cake.
When you need to play the card "We weren't legally a family, so i can do what i want", you did something wrong.
I'm sorry the social stuff is so difficult and frustrating, but at least that makes it properly simulationist.
It always surprises me when people say this. I think he actually handles social stuff better than average for a 14-15 year old. I also think that he has visibly improved. I suspect there's an element of negativity bias -- negative outcomes stand out in the memory more than positive ones.
Meh, frankly put Hazou is good.
I'm serious, he's pretty good...he's also in a world full of traumatized child-soldier, IS a child soldier, and he's probably mentally healthier than 75% of the Adult ninja he talks with, this including the fact he has hivemind in his head.
