ohhh that fucking song maan. how fucked is it for ray to endure six years of emotional hell at the hands of his mother and still use her song for comfort in what he believed to be his final moments. the fire was his way of finally retaliating against her and even then one of the only things ray ever wanted was for his mother to love him again

Isabella is so immigrant mother in my mirror. Who gave into viciousness to live, to make it. Who bore children because she was supposed to. And when you ask her why she gave birth to you, she'll tell you it was to survive, longer than anyone else. So give in to despair mija, don't fly too high my little bird, I want to spare you from the pain and suffering. When you finally escape her smothering grasp she doesn't chase after you. Do your best and escape. Because she wanted to love you normally. It was you and we always knew it would be you who'd get over the chasms that your mom couldn't cross. So when you look in the mirror, you know there's part of you that escaped to survive, longer than anyone else. Just like mom.

In the novel where Norman is very very sick when he was little, Ray is afraid that Isabella may be forced to send Norman to the QG, right? But Norman wouldn't be killed and eaten then: he's too smart, they would want to keep him alive as long than possible so his brain would be at his best. He would probably be kept asleep until he was healed, and would be send back to the orphenage after that, right? It's just Ray who thinks it means obligatory death? or it 100% means death?
Krone's story in the second light novel touches upon the protocol for when a child is seriously ill:
So it's difficult but not impossible to send them back to the plants. And with Norman being the first child in Grace Field's recorded history to excel by the metrics they measure from his very first test at age four, it seems highly unlikely they would kill him prematurely even if Peter hadn't taken a special interest in him. They might have sedated him enough so his time at headquarters was like a fever haze where he wouldn't be sure what was real and what was fake, or they might have kept him there until he turned twelve, but killing him early seems foolish with the sunk cost put into him and his potential.
(TPN Light Novel 1: A Letter from Norman - “The Day Emma Cried”)
Ray's working with limited information, though, and the fear of losing Norman is very real to him, even if it isn't necessarily to imminent death.

Isabella, trying to teach her children just enough critical thinking skills that they don't get "adopted" early for being dumb, but not too much that the illusion of the happy orphanage is shattered:
