We often forget Firey is a "doer." To him, the Ferris wheel wasn't just an object; it was a physical manifestation of his devotion. When Leafy rejected the wheel, in his mind, she was rejecting him.

"Intent vs. Impact" trap. Firey’s intent was 'cool and fun,' but the impact was 'death trap.' Neither of them could see past their own immediate reaction.

Leafy’s fatal flaw is her assumption of 'Moral Default.' She assumes that because she’s 'nice,' people will automatically understand her heart, even if her words are sharp.

Social suicide is a powerful deterrent. Firey chose his status over his friend, which is cowardly, but human (or object?). He didn't want to be an outcast alongside her. If Firey is a glacier, Leafy is a wildfire. One moves too slow to address the pain, and the other moves so fast she scorched the earth before a conversation could even happen. Leafy didn't want the island; she wanted Firey to feel the loss she felt.
