Thanks for your time and the pointers :)
New chapter, yay!^^
I honestly felt this particular chapter did a wonderful job illustrating a frightening, yet all-too-real, aspect of life. This being the moment when a child truly loses their innocence.
Most of the loss of innocence started way at the start but is getting quite established at this point. Spike's feelings about the loss of Rarity, Apple Bloom feeling disconnected along with wondering what other things may be kept from her, and poor Scoots not yet in the loop as to what massive trauma is looming beyond her awful stay in the hospital.
All children must grow up at some time. However those of Spike, Scoot, and AB are far too early. I know, for myself, the trauma of going through eye surgeries and appointments while being teased and left out by others even back in Elementary stung like nobody's business. I've talked this out through therapy and have discovered it to be why I am into diapers. The mind longing for a childhood taken away all too early. To realize what was happening and/or on the horizon making me, like Spike, AB, and Scoots, all have to try and adapt while so many others of such young ages did not. It also didn't help that I was often reminded of how unattractive I was. (Never had a girlfriend, or a girl who wanted to do more than just talk to me, until after High School)
So, again, this chapter opens the door to how we now have very youthful character needing to grow up far faster than most would have to. Their lack of understanding due to not having gradual exposure to such trauma likely to require a lot of care and support in order to avoid social awkwardness, desire to disconnect, or developing soothing techniques that are far from common in order to process emotional pain.
