Curate, connect, and discover
Another thing that makes me angry is people think the only two characterizations of TWM is "Niko But Sad" or "Entirely mechanical and cold" and like??? Isn't their entire arc NOT being either of these things? Not once are they ever "Niko-like" and their entire arc is about NOT BEING COLD AND MECHANICAL!
Yknow after doing chores and overthinking OneShot again I could easily say that TWM having a breakdown strong enough to almost destroy themselves because of their obsession of keeping Niko safe could be a metaphor for getting obsessed with someone out of idealization to such an unhealthy degree that any sense of conflict with them causes one to break down (of course all of this being the product of some sort of trauma)
It's why I don't like the idea/characterization that TWM is obsessed with Niko after Solstice because it wouldn't make sense. TWM is healing and thus has no need to have an unhealthy attachment
