Although it's a magical world, the proximity to which mental illness can destabilize a person draws us closer to this story. Coco falls ill in the face of all the hostility she witnesses: her presence is unwanted, she is a "stone that could shake the existence of the magical world." Doubts gnaw at her: will she really be able to save her mother? Is magic something she should have desired?

Furthermore, we see Agathe facing a conflict: why doesn't this Outsider denounce the way she's treated? How can someone be so helpful and kind after being deceived and exposed to danger? The little black-haired witch questions her own actions when her Sylph Shoes are returned (and redesigned by Coco). And then Coco faints in front of Agathe.

Desperate, we see how childish they all are. Agathe does the right thing, running to seek help from an adult. Qifrey helps his apprentices and proves himself a true teacher despite his questionable actions in the last episodes.
