What's great about this is this almost unflinching portrayal of thin-skinned / vulnerable narcissist personality disorder.
I hope the author won't pretend she can be fixed just because some lovey dovey. It would take a lot deeper level of self-reflection and someone helping them along every step of the way. Thankfully it seems she will be enabled by extreme sycophant instead, and they can have their sick, co-dependent imitation of a good relationship for years to come.
NPD often can't be fixed completely even through intense therapy, because someone who has NPD will almost never do real self-reflection or they may even be unable to do so honestly. They already feel they are great and good, so why would they need therapy or a new perspective? It's the other people's fault for being so prickly and easily offended, surely.
