I understand that there was no way he could be fully impartial. When he realized this, he should have referred her to someone else. He didn’t.

As it stands, he tried to be neutral and in doing so let her stew in her anger, let it be directed at the bad kids, never pushed back. A good angle would have been to interrogate the root of her anger (insecurity and/or a different presentation of anxiety, it seems to me, anyway), to ask why it was pointed at peers and not systems, to tell her why directing it at peers can be harmful and that her efforts should be taken seriously, tragic backstory or no.

He wasn’t in danger in this situation! Certainly not in too much danger to do these things (what plenty of counselors do with patients all the time)!

But he asked, instead, what she can do to be a better adventurer.

i’m gonna be so totally real. the knowledge of kipperlily willingly taking a rage star is actually incredibly sad for her.

like she is a teenage girl who believes herself to be so uninteresting and un-special that she needs to go out of her way to corrupt herself in order to get the outcome/advantage (as she puts it herself) in life that she wants.

like. she’s the only of the rat grinders (that we know of) who willingly took a rage star, she willingly let herself become so full of anger and hate and rage because she thought it might give her an upper hand on other adventures like the bad kids who “got unfair advantages in life” because of the traumatic things they experienced.
