I definitely have no real-world experience with psychopaths.
Claire is around 19 or 20 here, yeah. But she also was nabbed by intelligence agents and locked in solitary confinement a few years prior. Basically, in the main story, when Sachiko overheard Hina confessing to Yasu that she had kissed Claire, Sachiko radio'd down to her intelligence contacts and relayed the story. They in turn abducted everyone who might leak that story to the press until the girls were safely back on Earth.
But from Claire's perspective, one day, she was just grabbed, locked up without being told why, held for half a year, and then released. And when they released her, they warned her that if she talked to anyone about this, they'd kill her. That's very traumatic, and it's not surprising she's not recovered from it.
