Hi I was a victim and I would placate and fawn, this is not what that looks like. They were the ones uncomfortable and she was the one trying to make it seem normal. We have no evidence that they were so manipulative and coercive that she had to make sure they were happy, the thing that changes her tune is her being uninvited to the party, to which she lashed out and changed her story entirely. She wasn't afraid of them or not being believed like most victims, she confidently said they would be charged. She also wanted to pass out so that she could charge them, even tho every time she said no they would stop and they told her she could relax. Fawning is not a catch all to explain unusual "trauma" responses. You're not being helpful.
