hmm...

(plain text under the cut)

tbh i think this scene truly epitomizes like. the whole of ragathas people pleasing in a really important way. it not only establishes to the audience that she has a tendency to act how she thinks people WANT her to act, but also that she doesnt do it convincingly. but it ALSO implies tht this was an argument she made when he confronted her about it, implying she DID concede that she was fake-laughing, but continued to double down that it wasnt because kaufmo was doing smth she didnt find funny. and THEN it helps to show WHY she does this- when shes in danger, even though logically she should know abstracted characters cannot be communicated with anymore, she still defaults to what honestly feels akin to fawning- appealing to anyone in any way she can to keep herself safe, even if it doesnt actually make sense in the moment
