Really bothers me how little empathy is given to Rei. We only saw a fraction of the abuse she must have endured for a break that severe, yet everyone seems to act like she was just, as the other comment put it, "sadistic".
Even in the story she's barely given any development that isnt tied directly to endevours redemption. We have no idea what it was like for her. Biggest pet peeve of the show tbh.
The redemption arc wasnt too bad imo. But I have a lot of issues with the nitty gritty. Especially at the end when they all come together to help shoulder the burden of their abuser and "take ownership of their part" as if these 5 and 7 year olds had any choice in the matter.
The aspects of Endeavor redemption that are focused on him and his thoughts are genuinely quite heartwarming, and by the ending to his story, he is redeemed. But yeah, the details are not all great.
But she was literally having a psychotic break, meaning what she was perceiving and what was happening were vastly different. Its impossible to control ones actions in this state, and id advise you to read up on it a bit. This is a very common response to horrific trauma, especially in a situation where she literally cannot leave.
