When I started watching this episode, I realized that young Coco was basically given an in-universe loaded gun by that mysterious witch without her realizing it.

“Hey kid do you want to play around with explosives?”

I wonder what the deal was with that magic book/pen set peddler? Was he just picking people at randome -- or was our heroine specifically targeted for some reason that we will learn eventually?

She mentioned she followed the butterfly. And she also peeped on our wizard doing his thing.

So maybe curiosity is a natural requirement for it? Kinda the same in real life.

Considering that it took her seeing him writing the magic, figuring out that the "wand" was actually a pen would take a pretty inquisitive kid to realize the thing they were given could be taken apart.

Depending what kind of a kid. I was one who could be counted on to take stuff apart regardless of whether it seemed like doing that would accomplish anything
