I don't really see it. Her "sinister" actions are... what? Not exposing him as a survivor so the media could hound him like they were doing to Eva at the time? Co-authoring books with him? Letting him use the internet?

Frankly, the only way I could see her actions as sinister is if she isn't Yasu, because in that case she doesn't have an excuse for picking him up and adopting him.

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. How did you get from "didn't take him to a hospital when she first found him" to "never took him to a doctor or let him go to a doctor in 40 years"?
