Everyone reacts differently to similar situations. A is acting like a... panicked child lmao which she is. Her feeling trapped and pointed to murder is a direct result of her personality. Which is to panic and push everything and anyone away.
I don't think Basil or A had any choice about the fame and power thing. Everything was all on public video. A asked him to make it seem like everything was her idea, because she hates her own childishness like every child does, and he followed that command.
There is a point that children deserve agency. You are injured in a terrorist attack is past that point. However, children rarely agree.

You might want to have a re read of 1.6.B, I think there's some assumptions being made here that aren't supported in the text. Namely A didn't ask basil to make the science centre look like her idea, she asked him to delete the record (which, under the guise of hostile nano tech invasion I think would've been possible). She explicitly called out what he ended up doing as not what she'd asked for.
Obviously you're entitled to your take, it's just that I think the story is much more compelling with a focus on the difference between how basil thinks of A and what she actually does. Either way, hope you're enjoying it.
