lace's story is so much about disability to me (as a disabled person) ... she's physically quite old, but has a frail, resource heavy body and 'the mind of a child.' (emotional/mental maturation is a weird and complex thing, but i interpret her to be childish in the same way people with autism / learning disabilities are considered 'childish' or 'less mentally developed' than their neurotypical peers) lace is obviously incredibly frustrated at what she is, she holds a lot of hate for herself & is angry for being born. and resents being fragile & 'broken.' this may be more projecting but i think she resents forever feeling like / 'acting like' a child as well.
anyway this is also me throwing a hat into the ring on lace age discourse i think she's just a disabled adult. ok thanku :]
this is actually such a cool way to think about it
