Cognitive Dissonance (CD) is when you hold two opposite and clashing ideas.
Case in point: Amo is thinking "Why was I introduced to mister?". She thinks "My mom loves me" and "I was sold to him". These are opposite, and clash. They cause disconfort, which leads to very human behavior of DENYING the unconfortable idea, and creating a justaposition that accomodates something confortable. Leading to "My mom loves me" and "Mister also loves me"

Humans deal with cognitive dissonance (CD) constantly and we don't talk about it enough.

Children, of course, have it especially hard, and is why adults are important in assisting them with navigating the complexity of life.

Second bit of PSA
Pedos are adults and understand that children are vulnerable and enjoy preying on them exactly because of that.

Looping back around to the CD bit, they enjoy something vulnerable they can force and trick into submission, they also understand it is Wrong, but that's where the dissonance comes in and they create justifications for it, as we see mister himself doing it, up until he feels like force is easier to get his way. This is also how we get sick fucks claiming to be MAPs or NOMAPs, all a justification to ease their CD and make it easier to process their predations.

Do not feel bad for them, they are scum.

God damn, Amo needs therapy and hugs. This manga is underrated, how isn't it even more popular

I mean, I do feel bad for them, until they do a thing. Afterwards they need to be punished. Before they need professional help. Still agree with everything you've written, I just digress xD

I feel bad for her, a lot, but I enjoy the writing and creative process too much to fully focus on Amo. I mean:

1. Look at this panelling! Time and time again, Urana-sensei keeps breaking my expectations in half, damn.

2. Look how the abuse and misguided rationalisation of what happened to Amo makes her actively be a part of the plot to begin wtih. Due to what Angels did for ther and what the courier did TO her, she seeks more poeple, more love, she pops out here and there in the Forbidden Zone, probably being used, probably also hurting people who meant no harm. That's how the rumors begin, because she really doesn't keep secrets, that's how our guys arrived here and that's how to plot moves forward, with the Cleaners (hopefully) saving Amo.

3. I do admire how the change was not too abrupt in Amo. Like, she didn't just do a 180 and killed the courier, she was still clearly under his influence, but another influence made her actually oppose him. If he didn't fall out of the window, she would've probably died or get even worse.

4. So... must've misunderstood something. Thought ever Giver can use somebody else's Jinki, just not in the same way nor with the same skill. If that's not the case, let's think. If it's uncommon for that to happen, Rudo is an anomaly and Remlin's situation is rare, then maybe Watchman Series is all Jinkis? It's all meant to be inherited like Gob's pen?

5. If not, then maybe it's just about perfect matches. Let's say somebody else would've been a perfect match for Rudo's gloves. That person could use it as a Jinki, while - let's say, Nijik - could not. In that way, we might eventually see one of our protagonists take somebody else's Jinki, as it will be more suited to them!
