Isn’t Tracy a child as well though? I don’t think it was ever mentioned that she ever reached adulthood. She’s mentally a teen who has never made it past high school, the age group that’s most known for making mistakes and needing room to grow. You can’t expect a teen to be the beacon of morality and maturity. Teens are going to make irrational decisions at first. Sure how she treats Oleg is distasteful but I think you should give her the same grace you give to Oleg because at the end of the day both are children who are the products of their environment.

Her emotional maturity has been impacted from the fact that she was horribly neglected. Can you truly say that someone who has never been shown actual love in their whole 15-16 years of living (treated like a dog by others herself) should be expected to automatically know how to care for others the “correct” way like some flip of a switch? She’s doing the only thing she knows how to do just like Oleg first did with parroting his father… This is not to say that she’s in the right for this, she should treat Oleg better and you aren’t wrong to feel upset about it but expecting her to know off rip the virtuous and right way to treat people when her current way of centering herself before everyone else has obviously been helping her survive her whole life and still is? lt’s going to take some time and it seems like she’s somewhat taking the steps towards growth(?). She’s flawed. And I enjoy that about her character.

If she was a teen when she died, that's my bad I probably missed that. She's definitely not a child though, and at 15-17 I expect a teenager to know how to treat children with basic human decency. If she's capable of manipulating grown men in front of a crowd to save a woman from being hanged, she can use that emotional maturity to think a little harder about the way she treats a 6 yr old. And 40 chapters of her not doing that is why I dropped this story
The way she treats Oleg from the beginning until now genuinely makes me mad. Like, girl you are an adult in a kid's body who can make rational, mature decisions, and Oleg is an actual child. Bro is so young that he'll follow a fellow six year old's orders, but she still treats him like shit for the sin of being raised by a terrible father. How you gonna hate a parrot for parroting things someone else says like it knows what it's saying?
