the narrative and emotional satisfaction i got from nephliaâs apology to laz? impeccable.
not only was it narratively satisfying, it gave so much more depth to their relationship.
so often we see âyeah, theyâre close friends, and thatâs why they make up so quickly after they say/do something awful to each other. itâs just friends to enemies to friends, maybe to lovers after thatâ and gargantuan slights are brushed off
but here we saw an apology approached with the angle of âwe are friends, or at least we were, and i fucked up, and i donât expect you to forgive meâ which is phenomenal and frankly not something we see enough of
