  So if I was a teenager reading these books, I would probably agree that all the terrible adult characters were real people.  As an adult, I cringe a little every time we find another adult abusing children.  The abuse is not always physical or sexual, as was the case in the first volume, but it still makes me slightly uncomfortable.  However, the Phantom Thieves do decide to help out their classmates with each other, so we see that it's not just cringy adults treating each other horribly.  In the end, when the abuser has a change of heart, their apologies are heartfelt and do shed a little light on why that behavior is unacceptable.  In that way, I suppose we are getting a little bit of a happy ending.  I do like that the team seems to be coming together in this volume and shaping their identity as a group.  The three teens are distinctive individuals within the narration, and they work well together when the need arises.
