Excuse my reaction, I was sleepy.
Yea, MC won't be one for willful negligence to the point of death.
An actual non-hyperbolic example where a "don't get involved" behavior would reasonably manifest is day-to-day risks that'd result in something like a scratched knee. In this case, an emotional kid distancing themselves from the favored sibling would be a natural reaction after being chastised. It'd give the situation some depth and be interesting to touch on.
Though I could, and would like to, see Geralt threatening such hyperbolic outcomes as a result of the parent's reaction affecting her. Something morbid but straight to the point.
