And ever since finding out the truth about her origins, she hadn't thought she was capable of being loved because of it. Nor has she been really able to recognize it either.

This isn't a case of the author not trusting the audience, this is a case of a character affirming the truth of their words to another, both of whom are currently at an emotional high at the moment. I feel like that reunion at the hospital would need affirmative dialogue like that between characters because Neon was someone who wanted and needed to be explicitly told that her parents truly love her after realizing it.

I don't think this is the same as trusting the audience to connect the dots between things like Jitt being Game Master meant he had a hand in affecting Keiwa's wish in Genesis to how Girori being Game Master meant that he had a hand in affecting Ace's wish in Encounter

Yup, pretty much agree with all of this, makes perfect sense.
