>>103871213>Kid is a legit sociopath.I have to disagree with you. Everyone does stupid things as kids. Some kids take longer than others to learn empathy, sometimes a lot longer (ie, bullies in high school who end up being really great people later). Trevor clearly briefly showed regret once Hilda yelled at him before doing the natural kid thing and getting defensive with "it's just a bird". It probably didn't even occur to him that throwing a rock at a bird was harmful (obviously he knew it would hurt the bird, but again we aren't born with empathy, we learn it).
Then later it's not like he intentionally throws the raven in the river. He's angry, annoyed, and a bit freaked out because he knows he heard the bird talk but no one believes him. His behavior is 100% realistic in terms of something a kid would do. Then Alfur startles him and causes him to knock the cage off the bridge.
tl;dr Trevor's not a sociopath, he's just misguided. He could grow a lot learning from someone like Hilda.
