I watch, and enjoy, anime and foreign films, which constantly have things in them from cultures I don't live in. Some I understand from other sources, others I haven't the faintest clue about. I rather expect that.
I keep seeing this thing where non-Americans complain about Hollywood movies being culturally American, and it's just baffling to me. I really don't get a lot of stuff that comes out of Bollywood. I don't feel entitled to an explainer. The stuff that gets into the market here is doing as much to try to extract money from me as Hollywood is you, but the producers didn't have me in mind when they made the film.
Meh.
I do find it interesting that Dora's point of view on her brother is largely considered to be suspect by the readership. We've seen just the barest hints of what Sven was like before Faye, but that thin evidence (plus his post Faye introspection attempts) is considered more real than Dora's assessments of his character and his general agreement with those assessments. It goes to prove, I suppose, the wisdom of "show, don't tell."

You can then treat this as a 3d maze and solve it for the shortest path through. Assuming there is a connected path and you can do ii. If not you just have to saw the ladder in half.

Swop the ladder for a sofa, and you have a sub-plot of Douglas Adams's book: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Is it cold in here?:
BlueFatima, those are first-rate points, thank you.
There are some people here who have had to amputate toxic family members. It can be vital to do so and not something for well-meaning outsiders to butt in about. The people here had dramatically better reasons than anything we have seen yet from Dora.
We don't know yet whether Jeph is advocating the idea that reconciliation is always a good thing. He might be, but it's sufficient explanation if he is just illustrating Hannelore's character. It's like when she tried to encourage Faye to re-apply for her job.
Method of Madness:
Faye has a better job now, though. A much better job. I hope she doesn't hide it from Marten for long.
ReindeerFlotilla:
We don't know if it's a better job. We just have hints it is one she's more suited to.
Better is going to imply greater satisfaction or similar satisfaction and greater compensation.
