She wants to *publicly perform the role of Witch in society* and she wants The People to be in awe of the grandeur and complexity of her spells. #WitchHatAnimelier

And yet in this episode by the river, she has to demonstrate both to herself and to the public that that grandeur and complexity *don't actually mean anything in and of themselves* - her big glorious shining phoenix *does not help*, in a manner that is obvious to even an outsider. #WitchHatAnimelier

Agott, in this moment, has publicly made a fool of herself - the likeliest conclusion an outsider will make here is that Agott is both a narcissist and a moron, a child going "look what I can do" and turning a cartwheel while a man's son has his legs crushed beneath a boulder. #WitchHatAnimelier
