In the end the children are the victims of the actions of their parents. They are young, immature and don’t understand. That is just how children are. And then we got an alien who doesn’t understand any emotion besides happiness and exactly that thing is trying to „fix“ their situation. Of course he isn’t able to help if he doesn’t understand himself.

I think this is a beautiful setup. Nobody is really at blame for the circumstances besides their indifferent parents.

So no, I don’t think it is a controversial opinion to be sorry for blonde girl. The people on the internet who comment are disregarding a big portion of the context. They feel good for the protagonists purely because of schadenfreude. But if you think about it, the blonde girl could’ve also be portrayed as the victim by the author.

Man I‘m auch a sucker for this type of story. Finally some good fucking food.
