Oh god yes, this exactly. It was absolutely gut wrenching every time I saw Chick Beato. All their attempts to get her to crack a smile or respond in any way, I’d cling so desperately to the hope that they’d succeed and I was crestfallen over her lack of response.
While a version of Beatrice was “revived,” I never forgot that red truth and so her return felt fake. I felt the same as I did over Maria’s “magic” to create candy and the like. I knew on some level it was fake, but I put on a happy mask and pretended I didn’t notice. So too with Beatrice’s return.
