abuse and manipulation can severely impact and stunt a child’s emotional intelligence so i honestly am not surprised. if that’s the only environment you’ve ever known, especially with a case like latia’s where she was completely uneducated and isolated from the outside world, it’s expected to believe that the situation is normal. children depend on their parents and treat their words as absolute truth when they haven’t had any direct experiences that contradict those words. of course she’ll listen to her parents over all others, it’s just how an average child’s brain works. i think only after her family blamed her in the end was she able to see from a different perspective as she had to reason to challenge that original point of view. she was only 10 when she died, so her mind wasn’t even developed to the point where it would starting at puberty, even if we ignore her personal circumstances. ultimately she was a child so i don’t think it’s fair to expect her to have a robust sense of morals apart from what she’s been taught. that’s just my two cents tho
On chapter 3. The mc was truly a blind kid if she didn’t realise that everyone and literally everyone around her knew she was a illegitimate kid for that long, the way they treat her too. It’s so comical that she said something like “If only someone told me it wasn’t right” when she already knew it was wrong AND someone in her life already told her. I guess she’s obviously influenced by evil deeds since she is surrounded by it in majority but still she wasn’t a bright kid
