there's some interesting discussion on ksites where it was debated if humans are considered livestock in this new earth (we're still a lil wary of Promised Neverland), but someone said it seems to be closer to a protected indigenous group

similar to how colonizers will come into an already occupied settlement & proceed to claim it + gentrify everything while pushing the original inhabitants to a small corner of the land.

after settling in, give or take a few decades/centuries of mingling with humans, they will then attempt to "protect" the race they brought to extinction out of guilt, by applying their own beliefs to a vastly different culture and ecosystem, occasionally making things worse instead of better in a misguided attempt to 'save' them.

we can clearly see that the other aliens have a clinical & textbook understanding of human care. while their motives aren't malicious or evil, it still falls short because they're treating Mori like a subject, convinced of their superiority.

meanwhile Miria and the others in her household (while also stumbling at the beginning because all they had were reference books) quickly learned how to truly care for a child because they approached Mori on an equal standing and listened to him.

why am i typing so much? BECAUSE I WILL CRY IF I DON'T DISTRACT MYSELF LET MY BABY GO LET HIM GO HE'S TALKING OH MY GOD HIS FIRST WORD IS BORNE OUT OF FEAR AND LONGING I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE

    right, they should STUDY. MORE. IM MALDING. it's just really simple, like you said "equal standing" and "listening" are the first steps. the child is suffering don't you see ಥ‿ಥ
