Exactly Moose, EXACTLY! It is amazing how that headcanon for this love chain actually managed to fulfill itself, especially with Estinien dismantling the end point, lol. You'll also notice my hint above regarding the nuances of the "bromance" between him and Aymeric... (pauses to scribble in his speculation notes: "Lucia and Aymeric still a viable matchup like Sadu and Magnai or does Aymeric remain oblivious to her???").

I swear Koji and the lore team have a good tickle doing this to us on purpose... now I'm stomped!
