I felt the mental health issue was pretty implicit in the portrayal of the character in crisis. What I objected to was the notion that when confronted by a character who has objectively withdrawn and is presented throughout the story as someone who is suffering, the consideration of them as a predator followed after the comment connects the two.

I feel that this is not the forum to discuss the issue, but when aberrant and awful behaviour is a the default assumption because someone is presented as both a.) unwell, and b.) interacting with a minor, it's not helpful. I really don't want to be incendiary when writing this, and I don't want to be that person who won't let people have any fun, but I think there is a genuine case for consideration of the history of this kind of portrayal in media and the sad association that is perpetuated when such comments are made. Again, I'm not trying to cause trouble, so sorry if I come across as no fun whatsoever.
