Well, listen, trauma doesn’t go away just like that, it’s not easy to get over. It’s reasonable for the twins to have distrust in the imperial family. I mean, for the first few years of their life as the twins, it did seem like they didn’t bat even an eye at the situation.
And for people that complain they don’t act 23 year olds, because that’s their added age, you seem to forget about trauma. Personally, I think the twins went through Age Regression (not a professional, don’t @ me, I could be wrong I’m just speculating), where they revert to a younger state of mind, which results in them making more childish decisions. It can be caused by stress, frustration and traumatic events. It is a coping mechanism.
*PEOPLE WITH TRAUMA (ABUSE) ARE MORE LIKELY TO REGRESS*
Which I mean, suddenly dying and then being reincarnated as a helpless lump of flesh with lack of motor control in some weird world where magic exists and all scientific laws have been practically thrown out the window, would be pretty stressful. To top it off, your mother is abusive and your father (seemingly) doesn’t give 2 shits, that’s pretty traumatic. I think that would be enough to cause them to revert to a younger state of mind.
The types of behaviours that one experiences depends on what age they have regressed to (they might be around 12-14 mentally imo? Maybe even 10, but def somewhere in the 2 digits).
If I remember correctly (correct me if I’m wrong), the twins:
- Swing their legs when sitting
- Enjoy childish activities
- Shy and less verbal
- Just generally more childish behaviour
This is some of the behaviour that the twins have shown that people who age regress have also shown. Sometimes, people can experience age regression involuntarily, and don’t have control.
I’m sorry if this comes off insensitive or anything like that. I’m not a professional at all, I just wanted to tell everyone my thoughts, and I think the twins have accidentally(?) used age regression as a coping mechanism for their trauma.
completely agree with you so i understand them having trouble trusthing or believing someone especialy now that the few people they started to trust a little either broke that trust or got hurt because of them it wont suddenly get better and lets be honest the people around them are not helping or understand or even trying to really understand the twins they rather listen to others than really listen to them and try to gain their trust and give them the oppurtiunity to gain trust in the royal family also how funny is it if a protector losses its strength because they have no trust in the royal family?? well useless birth gurdian gift they got there really no one is telling them the facts and truth thanks to that they cant trust anyone really. i also wonder what the real story is behind the reson why their gurdian was not with them? and how the imperial family couldnt know the kids suffered if their gurdian seemingly watche or kind felt most of their pain and the emperor knew the guardian and had contact with him? its all still weird i hope they get their shit together and finally take real care of the twins
didn’t read all ur comment but i saw age regression and i agree! i’ve seen it happen in other isekai mangas where the mc would be 30+ in previous life and super mature and smart in his new life but they would go through age regression because they were in kid’s bodies and that’s how everyone else around them treats them
yesssssss queen
