I dont really see this that critical. I dont know if you ever had really toxic people with severe mental problems in your life. But stuff like this is actually pretty common. They promise to do better, they tell you they will improve. And even when they actually ment that genuine, after a while they still continue with the old toxic behavour they just have been called out for, as if they never had been called out. So in that way, when you look at realism Ami is actually pretty consistent. And it was even what i did expect to happen.
Okay i was sort of surprised it actually did needed his whole break down to become this bad, because i was expecting that this would happen with her without even thinking about anything like that. But on the other hand i wasnt surprised at all that she did reach out to Niki and none of her friends for help. Because i would assume from her perspective she burned all bridges with her old friends, so of course she needed someone else entirely.
And in that regard i am actually still a bit surprised about her conversation with Maya. Because in the end it was pretty obvious that she just acted tired to give the excuse to leave her right away. I mean from the whole conversation it is imo pretty clear that she is fully aware why Maya did come to visit and it was not because of her. And that of course she wanted to leave again after she got the information she wanted to get.
I think this could mean that she tries again to do better. To improve again. To rebuild the burned bridges. I mean i have read the posts that believe this might be a trap and maya made a big mistake with that promise and all that. But i am not convinced. I dont think it is part of a big plan. But more like the usual loop of people like her. She wants to do better and in the end will still fall into the same old tracks.
