My question is why are you guys even arguing over whether ppl have sympathy or like the kid/monster? I haven’t seen anyone go on a rant about how the monster is good or that the monster should win. I saw two ppl at most feeling bad. Having sympathy is fine at most. No one is mixing reality with fiction. They’re just feeling for a fictional character as a third party viewer and being open to thinking outside the box as to why the monster is like this. Anyone who has sympathy for the monster likely used their brain and realized the monster did what they thought the dying kiddos wanted, which was to live and not be hurt. It’s true they’re suffering but if you think of it another way, that girl also got a chance to meet new friends from it and spend more time with her family- than her just dying in that accident, the end.
If you want to put logic into it, technically the monster did kill them but recreated them into an undying being. They’re not gone forever, that’s literally the opposite of what they’re being made into lol.
Bro what do you mean “they’re not gone forever”? That’s the problem! They’re stuck being immortal freaks slowly turning into monsters, that’s not a second chance, that’s a curse . I’d rather die than rot away into some mindless creature. “it just wanted them to live” — yeah, live as in suffer eternally while losing themselves. That’s not saving them, that’s dooming them. And she did not spend her time with her family how you think she did, she lived her life while watching her family slowly losing their minds, they can't even go out other than the daughter because they're slowly changing into monsters themselves, honestly I'm pretty sure they'd rather die than live like that, better off living in the next life than endure the eternal suffering of the present, btw I only made that comment towards people who actually got sympathetic towards the monster while reading the story, not because of some comments I saw, cuz ik there will be people who will side with the baby

Y'all I swear if you still have sympathy for the "kid", y'all are literally.... I don't even know what to say bruh, in case y'all FORGOT that baby ghost alien monster killed literal high/middle schoolers too, they're also kids with families! And don't forget about the train incident, that lil shit killed everyone tf, and most of all, that thing might be in the form of a baby but is it really a baby?? NO IT AIN'T, IT HAS PROBABLY LIVED OVER LONG BEFORE THE MC WAS BORN THEY PROBABLY OLDER THAN THE GRANNIES THERE AND Y'ALL STILL ACTING LIKE IT'S A NORMAL AHH BABY, it's a monster y'all, no need to feel bad for it, it's mindset is probably like a baby cause it's tryna manipulate you into thinking it is one, forever a hater on that lil guy, if that monster got no hater, it ate and killed me
