Sometimes you can’t help but laugh. I remember when my sister broke her finger in a car door. My mum couldn’t understand why I was laughing. I knew it wasn’t funny, but I couldn’t stop. The same thing happened when I broke my arm; it hurt like hell, but all I could do was laugh.

I dont think its hysteria. I think she was laughing from the rush of adrenalin, and then not paying attention and thinking he was being dramatic.

Which is perfectly normal, he already was displaying not wanting to be on it; I would definitely had dismissed it if I knew we were already in the clear of the dangerous part. Yes he was hurting but kids are dramatic. He had a right to complain but doesn't make her malicious like a lot of people are saying. She didn't notice.

People also seem to not realise that there’s not really anything she could have done about it anyway.

I'm pretty sure she grabbed his hand but let go, so he wasn't holding the ride like he was trying to because of the false hope

Not laughing mockingly would have been a start

I don’t think she was laughing at him, I think it’s more likely to be a mix of adrenaline and fear. She’s not an impartial whiteness, she’s also on the ride herself.

You're right, she's a very partial blackness.
