look, as shitty as it it, claire will, can and does often, feel completely lonely and disconnected amongst a large crowd of people. there is literally nothing anyone can do about it which sucks and it’s literally bc claire was raised to be an assassin to do bad and bc of that she was never able to really connect with kids ( it did not help that there really wasn’t kids around her age that she could, on a daily basis, freely interact with and become friends with ) or other people which meant that her social skills ( as we all well and know ) S U CK E D bad. they never developed and so she never truly figured out how to fully connect with other people.
which is where the shitty jokes and the horrid interactions with people come from. like, she honestly thinks telling your friend that ‘hey i couldn’t kill you when i had the chance’ means i love you and that’s so fucked up but at the same time it’s beautiful how she managed to constipulate her own form of bonding from her shitty life.
