You're right, I shouldn't be grizzly about it. Henceforth, my attitude will be the polar opposite!

One of us! One of us!
Y:
She seems to be zoned into her book, and she might not have known Hanners was telling something serious. Or perhaps she can't handle drama very well.
I do seem to have problems sometimes remembering what people said seconds after they said it. Covering it up seems to come natural as you don't wan't to look unreliable.
BenRG:
Okay, Hanners? This is the moment that you're allowed to hit her!
In Marigold's defence, of all the recurring cast, she knows the core characters the least and has the weakest connections with them. It's hard to focus on the troubles of strangers. Is this Jeph's way of reminding us that, outside of their circle, the characters' travails are very small and trivial?
I feel that I have to say "mea culpa" here. I know someone who insists on telling me about the drama of her work colleagues' lives - a group of strangers whom I have never met. It's easy to blank out and either focus on things that do interest you or change the subject as soon as possible. The thing is, it's really rude and I would hate it if (and when) it happens to me. I've thus trained myself to at least listen and treat it as something important to someone close to me.
Marigold...? Well, she's demonstrated that she's bad at empathy and has outright told Momo that she would do something mean and selfish without even being fully aware of what she is doing. I'm not sure if that is a result of her lack of socialisation or if she's just a self-centered person who needs to be motivated to change a character flaw about which she is fully aware.

Genuine question: What are Marigold's redeeming qualities?
--- End quote ---
No matter how much she complains about it, she is generous with her time when friends need her help.
Apart from that, she's just sweet because of her social awkwardness but I think few of us would necessarily tolerate her bad qualities IRL.
