The Tentacles of Romance

One user humorously noted, ‘Withers throwing her out had me creased with laughter. You will *not* ruin *his* party!’ The comedic relief in unexpected situations is a recurring theme in the comments.

Beyond Intelligence and Wisdom

Another user pondered, ‘For someone with a great deal of intelligence, he lacks a lot of wisdom. The script fits the specs.’ The debate on Gale’s character traits and decision-making ability adds depth to the community conversation.
