assuming the series takes place in 2017, and that ragatha has been stuck for ± eight years at this point, she 100% does not know how some kinds of recent technology work. my sweet granny's gonna be bamboozled when she'll escape that circus😭😭
low-key it's fucked up to think about in the lens of having escaped like even though I'm 99% convinced this is a soma situation by now I still love delving into the manyyyy hypotheticals of a potential escape, one of which is how there are some fics that nail the specific kind of dread in realizing that the world you lived in has left you behind. Like, it's funny at first glance to think about her having a Nokia numpad phone while everyone else except kinger has smartphones but can you imagine how daunting the idea of that is? Society has progressed past your own memory of how it used to work. and if you take into account how long a missing person has to be missing before they're considered dead and then compare that to ragatha's time in the circus, then she's not even supposed to exist out there anymore. the complications of that are like METH to me.
Anyways go read quarter-life crisis
