Hm. Murder sure is a big leap. A's panicked child personality it really coming through. Though thebresponse to Hruby was well thought out, she seems to just be riding everyone else's waves

Panicked child is one way of looking at it, but I disagree. I see A as a prisoner first and foremost. Everything we see them do, every action down to all communication they have with basil, has been to attempt to claw more agency for herself. Iirc the whole fame and power thing wasn't even her idea, she asked basil to hide what'd happened and basil chose to do it in a way that gave them more influence.
A child planning to kill a threatening figure seems like a leap if that's all you see. But a lifelong prisoner realising they might have to murder a guard that's found their escape plan is much closer to her situation imo.
