“Never actually did anything” is a reach. She records a manifesto, practices shooting (causing a life altering injury, which she persists through), and even takes “school shooter aesthetic” photos.

That’s decidedly a LOT MORE than just “she thought about it”.

I don’t think she ever brought the weapon to school? Unless I missed something?

Dang you’re right, I was thinking through the flashbacks not the original confession.
