while i am also a certified yearner lover, i think my answer would prob have to be his relationship with selfishness. it’s something that makes me siiiccckkk. like it was so ingrained in his head that he’s a liability that literally anything that isn’t beating him over the head with rocks he’s like “wow. how selfish i am. how dare i not want to be sad”. but as he struggles to find a way for wondasho to be together he realizes those feelings don’t have to be something he hates…i he can try being more selfish…and i think ive talked enough about selfishness in disband arc enough so ill keep that brief but i did also want to loop around to main story bc tokishun brought it up in the 5th anni talk and it reminded me. like, this isn’t entirely his selfishness and more how he gets stuck in his head about that stuff but, in main story there is a very obvious wall rui puts up between the rest of wxs and himself, he was ready to tail it out of wxs as soon as he felt nene would be okay, he never intended to stay. but wxs drag him back, and show him that he can live here and be okay everything starts to change around him. tokishun was talking about how rui tends to get stuck on the actual Doing because he wants to solve everything on his own in his head (because he thinks it’s a burden to put his feelings onto others) but wxs shove him outside his comfort zone and make him feel like he can go “i can try this!” because they’re by his side….that it’s okay to be selfish 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ which i think is awesome. i’m cutting myself here i could go on way longer but i think im going on a tangent
