Personally, while I don't like Mutsuki's development, I don't find it farfetched. Mutsuki's someone who has shown many normal signs of abuse, from animal harm to disassociation, and the CCG seems to have exploited that for their convenience. Of course someone like that wouldn't get better.

Suzuya was lucky enough to have Shinohara as a mentor to try to set him straight, but nobody in Mutsuki's squad knew about all of this. Urie is the one who is closest to trying to help Mutsuki, but hasn't acted at all.

One thing I do think, though, is that it's not fair to judge characters by how other characters handle the same thing, which happens repeatedly in TG (Suzuya/Mutsuki, Hinami/Akira, Eto/Kaneki, for instance). I actually think it's rather nice to see in fiction when it doesn't happen that way, because in real life, hardly ever do two people react, cope with, or get over something in the same way. It serves as a pretty interesting contrast and a way of showing "what could have been".
