Sounds good, and it is! But one problem is…not all of my colleagues got through COVID with the ability to work full time. Some are disabled completely. Some partially. Some would have been disabled even without COVID because fucking multiple sclerosis doesn’t care if you’re a doctor. So they’re being punished for being unable to work.

So they work through it. Even when they probably shouldn’t. And burned out doctors suffer from compassion fatigue. Not to mention, if you only have 20 minutes per person, you may be trying your best, but you WILL miss things.

BUT you can’t tell me Mr “gave up his soul for his city, his humanity for Karlach, and already resigned to going to the hells” wouldn’t do it all again in a heartbeat. At least it’s a form that he can choose this time.

The man is passively suicidal and doesn’t value his own safety. You cannot convince me any of that changed over the course of the game. All of Wyll’s big reveals (finding out he can be sent after people who weren’t evil on a technicality, that Balduran wasn’t a hero, that everything his father was training him for built up to a pile of bones who doesn’t see his worthiness or even acknowledge him properly then tries to kill him, that the cost of his freedom is his father’s life and soon he will have no powers with which to help others OR his only friends reaffirm that his happiness comes secondary, plus his “friend” potentially sleeping with his ABUSER!!!) would only stir his resolve, pushing him to be the hero who will make up for these shortcomings whether his or others. The Blade of Frontiers isn’t just a title, it’s a coping mechanism for the little boy that got abandoned at 17 for doing the right thing, who had to justify his father’s decision because the alternative is that his hero wasn’t perfect. Wyll has spent 7 years trying to make up for well, being him.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?
