    I'm going to be sick...

    The scene after she succeeds with Koana coming into your ream reads like a bad fanfic where Self Insert OC Do Not Steal has their brother check on the actual canonical MC to confirm feelings of closeness. I mean the line is literally "You have become someone irreplaceable to her. As her brother, I acknowledge that with no little jealousy"

    That reads like a child wrote it about their OC falling in love with Harry Potter, or WoL in this case, and it's actually gross and I want to scrub myself down to the BONE after feeling that absolute excrement poured onto me as the player. Absolutely vile... I wouldn't even want a replacement for her. I'd rather she go and leave me healthier for it, the cancerous lump she has turned out to be.

    I'm not normally this harsh but damn that was bad

    Filled to the brim with salt, vinegar, and unpopular opinions.

    Nobody told me Fantasias were addictive, now I have to go to rehab.

    When Koana told me she wanted me in her administration, I shuddered. When she told me I could call her by the name her family calls her, I thought "Wait, isn't Lomotil an anti-diarrhea medication?" but then I also thought, "Uh, no. I've known you for like 3 days. Not only are we not like family, I'm finding you a tad creepy, not gonna lie. Thank god this is the first time '...' is available to use." Then, when she said she wanted me to stay with her in Tuliyollal... No? Just no. I AM NOT INTERESTED, LITTLE SUN.

    I just ran through this bit of the story and the same flashing lights were interupting my brain from actually consuming this scene the way the writer hoped I would. I love romance angles to stories at the best and worst of times and this scene would have been perfectly acceptable had Wuk Lamat had any ground to stand on to have earned this. Up until this point, the story has done a fantastic job of shoving Wuk Lamat down my throat with no prep, no consent, no warning. Just, accept this and like this. It's the natural order of things.

    Don't get me started on being asked to call her Llama Tea. I just answered with "..." and Krile continues the Dawntrail gaslighting in claiming I am simply caught off guard with the request and of course we would all be honoured to be considered Eorzean cousins. If I was isekai'd right now, with my WoL just entering the new zone with Erenville, I would jump at the opportunity to lose the entire gang, find Estinen and make my way back to Eorzea and hopefully sleep the whole thing off.

    That's exactly what my WoL did as soon as Act 1 was completed. She strolled out to the jungle and vanished forever. The only sign of her passing was the faint sound of teleportation magic. For the first time since ARR closed beta, I have no desire to play another minute of the MSQ.

    I have always played my WoL as the kindest option possible, always picking the speech option that will uplift whoever I am talking to, I never snark. For the first time since I rode that carriage into Ul'dah I am "revenge selecting" by taking the most snarky reply option possible in all my optional speech moments. It's my small fist wave of fighting back against the MSQ.

    What kept me going was the assurance that after 97 it got way better. It doesn't...you made the right choice.
