Let us decide how to shape it, even if it's done via minor choices of simple yes and no options. As for why Arbert's establish history gets a pass? Well a bit of his relationship to his comrades was already cemented in the lore books, so that ship had sailed. They just fleshed out more information and details on what were in those pages. Whereas with our whole self we know so little and nothing has been set in stone just yet. Also the fact that these aren't actually our WoL/D isn't lost on me, but it is still our story.
Alright, not upsetting. But Ardbert is still an absolute piece of us. As is whoever our Ancient self was. The reason I say this is because I know not everyone wants to have something with him, but it adds a narrative to his feelings for us and all our sundered pieces. How did he feel about any of us he encountered? Arbert included. He sees the color of our soul, and who we are today after so many rejoinings is probably the closest he's gotten to a friend or at least someone familiar in thousands of years. Other ascians withstanding.

In short, it wouldn't hurt. Because it's of the past that cannot change.
