There is also the fact that she basically saw the same things Alto did that day and yet she doesn't seem affected by it (unlike Alto). However, once she saw her Ozma injured she reacted, but when it was other people in trouble she doesn't react. Its a discerning thing to notice.
Yeah, it's rather interesting to see how early there were warning signs about her self-involvement. I must admit, though, that I never gave Gilliam much thought, either, until the re-watch.

And I completely agree about Gilliams importance for Alto.
