Keefe isn’t controlling her emotions he is simply sending calming emotions to her so she can focus. He is not forcing her to feel anything. And is she felt forced into it or didn’t like it she would tell him to stop but she likes it so she doesn’t. End of story. Now the argument of keefe being “mentally mad” honestly makes me laugh my guts out. Sophie has made efforts to help both boys with their problems as in exile she stays calm and does not retaliate a gain at Fitzs outbursts and in lodestar she continues to trust keefe. Now I’ll start with Keefe Sophie did succeed in helping him yes he has made mistakes and his “fatal flaw” if u will is recklessness but he always takes risks with good intentions and remaining loyal. Now In Nightfall he makes one of his most reckless desicions by becoming a mircadir. Now we all know how this story goes so I won’t repeat it but after Sophie leaves him in his “punishment” he realizes that he can’t be the hero for her anymore because it is breaking them apart but instead he has to be her constant loyal friend and that is what he is in Flashback. And so Sophie is the one who helped him get over his fatal flaw.

Now as for Fitz if we go back to Exile after Fitz calls sophie a freak and whatnot he only apologizes after his problem is fixed meaning after he thinks Sophie will be able to heal Alden. After this everything is happy go lucky until his next big problem. Alvar. (he also gets mad at Forkle but whatever) after the tribunal does not go according to his plans Fitz lashes out at Sophie until she calms him down. He continues to randomly make remarks at keefe throughout the book showcasing that he has not gotten over his fatal flaw. And then finally his anger gets so high that he is ready to murder his brother who was still innocent at the time. Until Sophie persuades him out of it. Then once Alvar escapes he again gets mad at sophie. Then he “kills” his brother ( which I now don’t blame him for) giving us no closure for his anger. Sophie seems to be trying to help him but Fitz seems to be unable to let go of his anger.

So no Keefe is not “mentally mad” but a sad broken boy who used to become reckless in times of trial before Sophie helped him overcome his fatal flaw. Fitz however has yet to put aside his anger and still seems to be struggling to overcome his fatal flaw however much Sophie tries to help him.
