This is interesting. Milena is clearly eager to be recognized as a capable adult, but, as a teen, she clearly has a distorted image of what that means. Probably because Roland was such a powerfull and bossy man, and her friends and company are also as immature as her, she thinks that’s what means to be in charge.

Julie is even more on the immature side of the spectrum, but both seem to care for their family, the difference being that Milena WANTS to take care of HER family whyle Julie is happy to have Lennard at the palm of her hand.

Milena is very specif in stating that she does not want just a city, but a city “full
of shrunken grown-ups who have to serve…”

Some sort of communication is needed, so I don’t think Lennard will go speck
size, but Melody will. In fact, he will be the one who will have to take charge of his parents well being once Melody shrinks… or Milena and Julie. Because the only one we know won’t shrink for sure now is Miley.
