Seems to me she should be having this "Yeah yeah I'm the MOM FRIEND" mild outburst with Brun and not Elliot then???
--- End quote ---
One; she actually likes being Brun’s “mom” and two; Brun probably would not understand exasperated venting as rhetorical and might leave to spare her the trouble.
--- End quote ---
So since she helped Elliot with this one thing he gets to be the vent punching bag?????
IDK I just feel like this was a bit too soon of a mood change, where she went from jokingly helping Elliot and pepping him on/making unwanted jokes about Basalisk's bread fetish to suddenly " >8C Yes I'm the mom friend"
I feel like I got a bit of emotional whiplash.

Elliot’s been her emotional punching bag for years; he either likes it or doesn’t know how to get her to stop.
As for the other thing, moods can totally whiplash like that. I’m not sure that makes it good storytelling but it’s definitely realistic under the right circumstances.

Because then Jeph wouldn't have been able to use it to forestall revealing May 3.0 and frustrate the crap out of us, bwahahaha!
Although personally, I did want to know what cereal Steve was eating this morning...

Is Brun incapable of making these decisions for herself (is she "useless") or has Renee decided that Brun can't function without her help (has Brun moved on from school)
Farideh:
As far as I can tell, Brun is more than capable of taking care of herself. She lived on her own up until the moment the bar burned down (which was where she lived). She stayed with Renee for a while, who helped her settle into a new routine. Brun needs her routine, after all. They started living together permanently after Brun told Renee that she likes being around someone who understands her, so while Brun can live alone, she doesn't want to at the moment.
Brun isn't useless, and Renee isn't pushy (in this respect). They just found an arrangement that works for both of them at this point in their lives.
EDIT TO PREVENT DOUBLE POST:
May 3.0 is here! Seems like the transfer went off without a hitch. She'll be able to reach the top shelves now :D
