It's because we've been Let down and disappointed in most happy looking stories, especially in tragic stories, we've stopped letting our guard down. Now it sounds like we're being pessimistic, but we are just thinking of what else "could" happen, we are just being cautious, so that if what we thought does come to pass, we won't feel as heart broken, other than if we didn't think of that situation. That's why ironic stories are the most dangerous.
But this is my opinion and what I've been observing and thinking for a while, because I always thought that I was a negative person.

Actually im waiting for it too, so i had to re read it when there was none cause i kept thinking about it during the chapters but am i pessimistic to say that i think its going to happen in the chapter with the fat dude?
OMG all these happy moments are giving me anxiety... Like during the banquet i kept expecting his parents to get poisoned.... WHY, I HAVE SO LITTLE TRUST IN STORIES NOW.
He's so happy now, he's loved and has people he loves... i keep waiting for that plot twist that kills his family
