Yeah, can’t say this was surprising, the way that the parents behaved around her always felt a bit off.
Although jfc, this puts a new spin on that candy scene. “Candy from the fairies that will take your pain away,” and how she instantly felt better upon taking it makes me think it had morphine or something in it, so that even if the girl was still dying she wouldn’t be in pain. That is not something you give to a child without cause, Eugene was trying to stop her from taking something potentially dangerous.
Though from how he didn’t mention this to Hari or his father, he doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge of at least say out loud that his mother is screwed up.
