No. Because I think Renee's comes from an area of genuine concern.

And from the way you said that I infer you do not think Corpse Witch's behavior comes from genuine concern. However, apart from that difference in presumed motive (a difference for which you have not stated any objective basis), the similarity is still there.

(Beatrice was pushing it, but even she had her redeeming qualities. Quality. Moment.)
I'll keep that in mind when evaluating this new Renee.

How about Vespavenger?

Yes, but my point was that I felt the difference in altruism level was too obvious to ignore.

Vespavenger used to volunteer at a shelter for homeless puppies.
Larm Hargraven:
While Renee may have reason to be suspicious, I think it is safe to say her suspicions are a bit too far. I've had a friendship like this when struggling with my autism spectrum diagnosis, who meant well, but ended up making the friendship very toxic and abusive. I was not allowed to trust anyone but them and had to get their permission first on who I could consider a friend or foe. In hindsight, I still see it as one of the most toxic relationships I had in my life since I lived in constant anxiety on any possible new friend being a problem because the protective friend told me to be weary of them. It took a long time for me to get self-confidence in myself on how to interact with day-to-day strangers.
Now I'm not going to conclude Renee is that, because we have to see more of her first. But I will say this is what the vibe is coming off from, and it's not too uncommon. Sometimes people have this need to BE the one to protect another so hard that they tunnel vision and forget that each person is unique and each case is different. Straight hostility will cause more harm than good for someone in Brun's situation, if she's on the autism spectrum. This is just coming from a personal experience, so take it with a grain of salt.
