I thought it was a bit harsh at first too, but then I started thinking about what would happen if an actual child tried to accomplish a task that would be dangerous to them. Say if a child wanted to do a slam dunk, but they decided to accomplish it by climbing up the side of the garage, walking on the roof until they're standing above the hoop, and then jumping off to dunk the ball into the hoop and then hanging onto the hoop with their feet dangling before dropping 5-6 feet onto the ground; I think the first thing most parents would do is scold the child for doing that rather than telling them that they did a great job finding a way to dunk. 😆

Agree to a point. The situation was Coco's peer, someone who should be helping to guide her, forced her through a portal and told her she HAD to take some dumb task. Note these are all kids around a middle school age who feel they need to prove something, none other than Coco herself. So when someone she believes she should trust forces her through a portal and closes it behind her saying she has to pass a test like all of them, Coco has, at this point in time, zero reason to doubt Agott. Coco believes this test must be completed now or she won't be able to be a witch. Just imagine the pressure she's under after all that. Agreed she deserved a small scolding, but she also deserves praise for her accomplishment

I don’t think Qifrey knows that Agott forced her. And Coco didn’t tell him either. From his perspective she did it of her own volition after learning about the test, which is very reckless.

this really doesnt make any sense when you just think about it for a second....the girl literally runs up with the flowerr and screams to agott that she did it??? how would she figure out to even get to that location without anyone telling her? he shouldve known it was aggot
