We do. We're doing the best we can with what we've got.

Welcome, @Tanchico or Bust! (I relate to the escapism from this and the previous administration. Uuuuuugh. It is hard to keep my head on straight with everything going on.) I love re-reading the series. It's like catching up with old friends from time to time!

Congrats! We're lucky to have you! ❤️

I recently came back too! Welcome back!

This is my take on it too, even with the serial killers' childhoods perspective. There are definitely points in her story that can be viewed in a sympathetic lens, but her actions and reactions to those story points are what makes her irredeemable, in my opinion. Let's not forget, she's the one who took all that intelligence and potential, then decided to run with it for her own twisted and selfish reasons. For literal ages. Honestly, it's the obsession that scares me the most with her.
