Based on this:
The examples you have posted do not seem back up you assertion. The first two quotes reflect Elsebeth’s attitude towards Melisma personally, and even that may not reflect the full context. The third quote reflects to her attitude towards peoples expectations, which again, based on the entire issue being discussed now, is still missing context.
If I may suggest something, to increase the reliability of your data for what ever mysterious project you are working for, is to Ask directly how we feel about this “idea” that you are trying to seed.
Here, I’ll help you.
Pilot (Fill in blank), how do you feel about (What ever it is you are trying to accomplish)?
Edit: While I think i know what this idea is, how about I just ask you directly to avoid any confusion.
What idea, exactly, was Melisma supposed to ‘plant’?
