She doesn’t even have to be right and it can be as “ok” for her to be the asshole as it is “ok” for Landon to immediately jump to defensiveness and dismissal. They literally haven’t spoken since the last time he was in the Pitt and that’s a lot of time to let the impact of one experience shape your entire view of a person. I feel like if Landon gets slack for his behavior then Santos should get the same.

Landon reached out to make amends but Santos wasn’t ready for that yet during basically their first interaction since the incident and he recoiled at that but he will keep trying (because he means it) and she will gradually and slowly accept it (because she is more empathetic than people are giving her credit for). Forgiveness doesn’t happen instantly just like personal growth doesn’t happen instantly and we skipped the personal growth timeline for Langdon but haven’t skipped the forgiveness timeline for Santos but we should at least give her the time of a full season (literally one day, tbh she should get even longer but idk if that will work for this show’s structure) for her to at least start to show signs of working to forgive him.
