"If it was... so simple a thing, then why? Why not sooner?"
learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally
An underrated aspect about Fairy Tail I wished was explored more was how selfish the guild can be.
Natsu, in the very first chapter, makes mention to Bora that he doesn't care if he's good or evil, but the simple fact he made the guild look bad was what sent him over the edge.
Or how, during the Moulin Rogue Omake, Erza makes a similar statement where she did not care about Bisca's struggles or that she stole stuff from others. But was only pissed at her because she damaged Fairy Tail's name.
There are other examples like the guild disregarding the guild civil war law when Phantom attacked 3 members, or how they basically stripped all of Edolos of their magic because the king targeted Fairy Tail. Or even Erza straight up telling Lucy and Gray to their faces to abandon the demons cursed in Galuna all because they betrayed Makarov's trust. There's a lot more examples I can think of during early Fairy Tail.
Stuff like those made me appreciate the cast more (and reminds me a bit of the Straw Hats), and I really wished we saw that more often. It made Fairy Tail just a bit more unique on that front.
