--- Quote from: pecoros7 on 29 May 2018, 10:22 ---Why would she? Neither of them has actually made a move. Although Clinton has told her that he finds her attractive, we know that she struggles to read social cues and may not realize that Clinton and Elliot are romantically interested. Even if she does, it isn't her responsibility to do the work of sorting out their feelings for them. I'd say that Brun isn't obligated to do anything until Clinton and/or Elliot make their intentions clear. It's time for them to shit or get off the pot.
--- End quote ---
We know next to nothing of Brun's backstory. We do know that when it comes to Brun, Rene, who's normally a complete asshole, is uncharacteristically protective and loyal. I suspect Brun is a survivor of physical and quite possibly sexual abuse and may have difficulties around romantic relationships beyond her emotional developmental issues.
Zebediah:
I’ll take it a step further and assert that Brun isn’t obligated to do anything at all about how others feel about her. Including recognize that those feelings exist.
Now, if she chooses to acknowledge those feelings and give Clinton and/or Elliot a clear response to them, good for her. But it is in no way required.
fayelovesbubbles:
Okay, I get that. I feel like an asshole now. But at the same time, damn girl, way to keep us guessing.

I think that may be reading more into the text than is actually there. We know Rene is a bit of a meddler and there are other reasons for her to see Brun as being vulnerable. Brun has not expressed any discomfort or anxiety around physical contact or closeness or aversion to people finding her attractive. Those anxieties seem to be exclusively Rene's. We also only see Rene and Brun's relationship beginning immediately after Brun's apartment burned down, so Rene's protectiveness might be a response to the extreme circumstances. So it might be a bit premature to start looking for signs of prior abuse.
