Case:

--- End quote ---
I don't disagree, but I'd like to point out that this is one of the situations where I feel "a wee bit Brun" myself. Like "People actually do that?"
Is it cold in here?:
Isn't that kind of difficulty with metaphor common among people on the autism spectrum? Any idea that Brun might be neurotypical seems to be getting remote.

I'm not neurotypical, but pretty sure that I'm not on the spectrum, either, so I can't really help you here.
(There is some overlap between early-life symptoms of ADHD and parts of the spectrum, but afaik, the mechanisms are different. And I'm not really in the early parts of my life.)
Peter appears petty, stupid and vindictive to me - I see he's trying to cause hurt, but to me, he's doing it in a way that simultaneously completely nullifies any reason why I should ever care about anything he says or thinks.
Edit: I also think you're underestimating Brun a bit when you talk of handholding - I think she is very consciously 'using' Renee as a source of "external perspective", something that I have done many times (or Hannes... ) - but so have you, on occasion, if memory serves. That doesn't mean she is slavishly adhering to Renée's view of things.
Thrillho:
Brun's prior employment was as a bartender with a harpoon. I think she can handle herself way better than we give her credit for.

So it occurs to me—we've now had, as major characters, a highly promiscuous straight dude (Sven), a highly promiscuous gay girl (Tai pre-Dora), and now seemingly a highly promiscuous straight girl (Renee). We need a highly promiscuous gay dude now, to complete the This Character Fucks square.
