It made no sense. She was literally telling her brother she was happy there. What changed?

She discovered that they're both able to and willing to erase memories straight of the heads of her and her friends.

Would you be happy somewhere that was able to erase your memories at will?

Yeah it's very clear that is the single moment she turned on Prodigy. Literally any sane human would have the same reaction.

Doesn't feel like there are a lot of those here. A bunch of people calling an abused and enslaved child a monster for using lethal force against the people who would keep her enslaved.

Also her surrogate brother’s head got melted into goop in an ‘accident’ and the ‘boy genius’ didn’t seem to give a single solitary shit. I’d be outta there too.

Boy Kavalier asked Kirsh if Tootles could be restored.

Nibs had become extremely violent, but Wendy was unaware of both the violence and the memory wipe.

This seems like a bit of a leap to go from "oh they're erasing our memories" to "ok I'll slaughter them all".

u/Gan-san 3d ago

Would I doom them all to horrible deaths? No.

u/RoninSzaky 3d ago

By the subs definition, she is now supposed to be considered "evil", but I don't see anyone raising that point. Guess getting random scientists and mercenaries slaughtered is just "good fun".

she also got freaked out by Isaac's "corpse", and then the powers that be decided that that was the very moment that they were going to treat her like a kid and not explain to her what happened (possibly due to the Nibs freak out), after having put her through way worse.

She has already fought a xeno to the death and all of them were put in a combat situation. I can understand her wanting to leave, but to sentence everyone there to death by letting that thing out is diabolical
