She is able to understand the complexities that go on between the boys and the one girl, and is able to calculate the situation to get a deeper understanding of

In moments they feel that they have a better understanding of everything in a way that is as concrete as mathematics. I don’t really agree with this because a lot of variables exist in every given situation. Especially children ability to exponentially surprise their parents by not allowing themselves to be negated by the pressures of people are defined in terms of concrete numbers.
