Clinton was early on borderline overbearing but i think the experience from the different events changed the character. Renee was and still might be projecting sarah mclachlan "possession".
Brun has her own way of dealing with stuff. Sometimes not the best but an individual. Brun will join the COD fold and will be the faye replacement. I wonder how faye will take it. Ironically faye's new employment has made her think a bit more like an adult and less like a child

She's hard to read though, because she doesn't seen to show much discomfort on her face other than when she had Clinton bring her to the hotel.
Renee is a super touchy person though.

Well hell Renee's giving ME anxiety being that touchy-feely. I dunno, Brun looks to me like she's kind of...conditioned to expect and accept this from Renee. Like, Renee knows that Brun isn't good at reading subtle cues, or that she assumes the worst/danger/disapproval in the absence of indisputable information to the contrary, so she uses more blatant cues to indicate her support.
And that kind of thing...can be both uncomfortable and reassuring at the same time. I'm reminded of a time a few months ago, when I went to an anime convention on the understanding that a friend (also autistic) had a hotel room to put me up in, but for most of the day she barely responded to my attempts to contact her and I was starting to to lowkey freak out by the time I met her in a restaurant...when I told her that I wasn't doing great she wanted to hug and I complied. Which was as I stated, both very uncomfortable, but also nice, in a way.
I'm obviously projecting a great deal here. I don't know Brun's situation exactly, just that I become more and more convinced that she's autistic, and am thus trying to understand her along the lines of how I would feel in that situation. So take anything I say about this as purely advisory.
Anyway, to refer back to what I said in my previous post...well, Renee's relationship with Brun looks complicated and believable to me, not something I can pass summary judgment on, probably.

You know, it looks like Renee is saying words, but all I can read is "MINE."

What I got from that wasn't that Brun was uncomfortable with hugs, but that, as you concluded, Renée is a huggy person. I am also a hugger. I try not to hug those who are uncomfortable with it, but I've absolutely smother-hugged folk that weren't prepared for it.
That Brun just muttered'oof'' without pulling away, that's a sign she already expected that kind of response from Renée. She wasn't surprised, or visibly upset.
TheEvilDog:
Okay, on the one hand, I can see where Renee is coming from. Brun has just been in a fire; she's lost her home, her job and her belongings; her life has been turned upside down. And then she hears that a strange guy has been helping Brun in a difficult situation, of course alarm bells are going off and internal sirens are screeching.
On the other hand, her reactions to what Brun has said kinda feels to me like she believes that Brun can't make her own decisions, that she needs to be constantly supervised. Maybe its just expecting the worse of a new character, so lets wait to see how Renee develops.
