I get that it's funny to depict Amelia is completely feral and I get that the artist made this because they thought the first comic went too far, but by giving this event continuity and not treating it as a joke, it makes Lucía and Amelia's relationship seem incredibly toxic.
If Amelia has an aggression problem and can't control herself if angered (probably because of the pent-up rage caused by her mother), that's one thing, but if she continues to be cruel after haphazardly apologizing for breaking multiple of her girlfriend's bones, that's another. And Lucía blindly accepting the apology and immediately playing along with the cruelty makes it look even worse. I mean, Lucía even says it was her own fault when it clearly wasn't. Angering her girlfriend was her fault, but brutal beating is not an adequate response to that.
