Aggot obsession with impressing her family parallels Qifrey obsession with the brimhats

(Will mark the spoilers for the parts related to the manga so anime onlies can read the post too)

I juste wanted to talk a bit about how interesting it is that Agott obsession with impressing her family parallels in some ways Qifrey obsession with the brimhats. Both of these obsessions steams from not only a feeling of anger but also >!a feeling of abandonment has both were "left behind" by the ones they are obsessed with, and a growing feeling of helpessness about the whole situation as they both keep fumbling each time they think they are finally getting closer to their respective goal.!<

Qifrey and Aggot are both shown to easily develop a tunnel vision if they see the situation as an opportunity of their goal. In fact, Agott in episode 7 ends up in a similar situation as Qifrey in episode 1, when they are both faced with an urgent situation where people are in danger, but instead see this situation as a selfish opportunity for themselves. The main difference is that Agott eventually broke out of her tunnel vision and reworked her priorities to help Coco, when Qifrey was so focused with figuring the brimhat spell that he failed to spot Coco's mom soon enough in order to save her.
