Wait, why isn't it funny "either way" exactly?

I see Weiss' comments as reaffirmations. When Douques picked her up from Beacon, all that attitude of hers went and hid. She didn't stand up for herself, recoiling later when a friend shouted at someone else. She lost some progress, but she's not letting that happen again. She's more determined and strong.

I don't think she was ever complacent, even when Jacques took her home. She was in a family environment that was abusive and controlling. Under the circumstances, when it seemed like everything she was trying to build away from Jacques was falling apart, she reverted to pattern.

However, that pattern is not one of complacency, but one of allowing an abuser to reassert his authority. Maybe someone will acknowledge this aspect at some point. All this harsh self-criticism is a little bit more serious if she is somehow trying to "make up" for allowing Jacques to take her back home.
