    Been a long while…

    Anyway, Allison was meant as someone growing up used to having everyone’s attention on them and every whim catered to. Her family was supposed to keep her grounded, but then she had a breakdown and fell back to that selfish mindset as a self-defense mechanism.

    While the stories of the others might be about growth, hers is one of regression. That’s why I think it feels disjointed, because she is in that kind of state.

      I hadn’t considered the regression perspective. I guess I always saw the umbrella academy as her core family.

      But you’re right, she lost two different sets of family over two different seasons. That’s got to mess with you
