I know Ash is a child but im genuinely so annoyed how he’s never disciplined properly so this is what you get a kid that thinks “knows better” than adults despite being overly sheltered. It’s honestly realistic how he’d just to this extreme of a reaction to “run away” given his upbringing and especially in this media focused times, children “grow up” but don’t actually know how to handle “grown up” emotions as they can’t still properly regulate.
