All she has to do is jump/roll (the latter if we assume those are burnt feet and not just shading) forward, knock the flame over, and she can drop her kid without risk of injury.
The thing is the kid wouldn't be free even if she could bump down the candle. If she was able to dislodge the hook, the hook would get stuck on the pulley like thingy so the lil one would be flailing around and considering how tight the rope seems to be around her, I wouldn't be surprised if it sliced her in half if she swing around while struggling.
And that without counting if the candle won't start a fire around them after being bumped or how highly distracted and dumbed down yukkuris get under pain and stress while other animals (even humans) usually get their senses and wits enchanced for survival under stress and pain, leading to their already incapable selves being waaaaaaaaay more incapable.
The First Day of the New Year, those nest-things stir a gathering(read extermination)! (When) I woke up in the morning, I found out those things in the courtyard, eating the air-dried salty meat they stole, so I captured them, but unfortunately couldn't catch, excepting this adult mother and child, that heartless Marisa that abandoned them, leaving without a trace. I doesn't matter, I have those two.
Air-dried Salty Meat? Is some sort of "new year" Food or it was only a coincidence that the lil shits stole that in the first day of new year?
Now it makes me wish for a follow up on which the marisa is caught or in it's escape somehow karma hits and she finds her demise in a pathetic yet hilarious way.
