Like JBKlyde, Starring_Emma had psych issues. She had been an inpatient for several months, much as Sundae is going to be, shortly before arriving in the Cellar. Like JBKlyde, Starring-Emma exhibited aberrant behaviors and was banned. Whereas JBKlyde could be personable, Starring_Emma was bright and her prognosis is much better than it can be for JBKlyde. She was young, vibrant, and bright enough that she was able to out debate some dwellars here. That seemed to bring distain from the old crones who were indifferent to her being an impaired minor. In this country, such people are given a clean slate when they reach the age of majority. Their juvenile records are sealed so they're not penalized for having been impaired before they became their own responsible party. It's the same in other advanced countries; except, for the old crones who will be old crones wherever they are.
