This is only a comfort if I'm closer to the adults than the child when it happens. And if I trust the adults.

You're scared of a world where nature is so powerful that things like the Behemoth are considered a good addition to it that will balance it. How much more scary its natural order must have been! But a far finer addition to any world than a gunship the size of an aircraft carrier, or the cannons that line the Ruby Sea bay outside Hingashi.
I'm actually scared of the Behemoth because the thought process that led to it was someone wanting to make an apex predator. Someone decided 'I'm going to win at the food chain', and everyone's okay with it. I don't like a gunship either, but at least that takes more effort and has a more deliberate purpose.

You're scared of a world that's so accepting that it allows people to eschew its own customs without punishing them, and your favorite Ancient Venat is proof of that.
My favorite Ancient is Athena.

You're scared of a world where everyone has the potential to cause great pain, but almost everyone chooses not to do such things, and instead battles each other with ideas. Well, prior to their Final Days driven Civil War, anyway.
My worry isn't just about people doing things intentionally: it's people doing it accidentally. Which we have multiple examples of.

You're scared of having a power that would let you share your soul with others so directly that you could not be misunderstood, should you choose to do so. I can only envy such a wonderful power.
I'm not scared of having the power of expression; I like art. I'm scared of having power that could hurt, especially when I may not be able to control it; it's why I don't drive.

Nowhere is perfect. Amaurot was not perfect. But it excelled in ways we can only dream of. Post war, post scarcity, and conservationally minded in the extreme. Global Warming? Climate Change? Never heard of it.
Thavnair doesn't know what climate change is, either.
