Why do Isabella and the killer feel like father and daughter? - an interesting detail

In fact, it is not as difficult to understand as the last one, but I still read a lot of people's comments to fully understand this film.

In the second half, there is a place that many friends find abrupt, that is why the little girl suddenly became fettered with the killer, and even showed so much sadness when she saw the killer being "beaten to death".

But I didn't feel that way when I watched it. Let me add a detail to the previous film reviewers that I didn't mention.

Isabella (the drug lord's youngest daughter) is called to the principal's office after a fight with a classmate. The principal said to Isabella: I should fire you. Isabella tilted her head and said "do it". At this time, her expression was indifferent, it was in line with the character's setting, and the principal was silent with a sad face. So, she said contemptuously: "I expected it." Notice, there is a pursed expression immediately after the contempt is over. This micro-expression expresses dissatisfaction. Strange, as a daughter of a drug lord, it is understandable to despise a person with a higher social role but a lower social status than her, but is it not the time for this dissatisfaction to appear. Everything was as she expected, and the principal was also humiliated. This was a complete victory, so what was there to be dissatisfied with? There was only one explanation, and she was disappointed by the principal's behavior. Be it rebellious or good in nature, in a word, deep down, Isabella is not proud of my dad being XX.

The role of father in Isabella's life is missing.

So, from my personal point of view, it's not that strange that she and the killer who lost her daughter developed a bond so quickly.
