Brook's tragedy is loss of great value. His crew, his shadow, his flesh and blood, his freedom, etc. until the only thing stopping him from killing himself is the one friend he has remaining
Spinel's tragedy is realizing she never had anything of value to begin with, but this where she had it better.
What did Spinel risk? Nothing, she sat there waiting for something to happen to her.
What did Spinel lose? Nothing, a few thousand meaningless years in the life of an immortal.
She was always free to pursue genuine friendship and love, even with PD, the only person stopping her was herself out of ill-founded obedience and perhaps fear of the truth.
I think currently Spinel has it worse because I don't think she really finds it. Whereas Brook recovers a lot of what he lost and progresses towards his goal, she just goes back to dancing for Diamonds, who like her because she reminds them of Pink.
