The two sides of the scale do not weight the same. It would be far easier for Asa to accept what her mother did as a good thing/necessary evil, Asa has every reason to WANT to believe her mother as good, but she doesn't and the reason she doesn't should already tell the resolution to that conflict. There is something in her that doesn't allow it, something that exists completely apart from her mother.

Interesting how this chapter reframes Asa's tendency to trip. On one hand she tripped on purpose given the chance that her father wouldn't survive, she didn't do it on her mother's request mind you, she did it on her own volition so she could get rid of a presumably abusive father...even though he lost his leg to protect her (according to Asa).
I doubt 6 years old Asa thought about insurance, she probably just felt threatened by her father but then she played the role of an accomplice to her mother's crime but seemingly distressed. She was an accomplice to the death of a family member for her own benefit.
When we analyze the other instance where Asa tripped, running away from the typhoon devil, her tripping resulted in the death of her mother...it could be that Asa wanted to get rid of her mother, either to punish her for what she did to their father or to effectivelly pull the same scam twice (Slippin' Asa).
But then, every other instance where Asa tripped (at the birthday party, at the athetlics, with Bucky, with Yuko, in PS's facility) they were all instances where Asa had absolutely nothing to gain from tripping, in fact, she only lost in these interactions - the party and athletics stunted her social life, killing Bucky robbed her of finally fitting in with her class and further ostracized her, with Yuko it nearly got them killed and so did in PS.
I think Asa is looking to punish herself for what she did, her guilt is genuine, else she wouldn't be able to create strong weapons -- this tendency became deeply ingrained in her mind as a way to punish herself for her crimes so she can never achieve the happiness that she believes she doesn't deserve. This has somber implications in regards to her relationship with Denji.

We call him Scumji for a reason.

What's strange is that she hasn't appeared so far, on a meta level it's easy to digest that characters like Reze and Kishibe appearing would completely change the nature of the plot. But Fujimoto never gave solid reasoning on why they haven't appeared yet and he obviously didn't forget them, they're in this weird limbo...
Makes me wonder if their absence will be an important revelation, what are the chances that people like Barem got a hold of Reze and is holding her captive as means to fuck with Denji? (which would be weird because Reze would wipe the floor with him and the other hybrids sans Quanxi, who's on another team).

I turned around on FC, even though I don't think it makes too much sense nor do I feel like the story properly built up to it, it would be really cool.
