You have wannabe loremasters like PPP who merely consider Kayla as "the wife" when ranting about Nick's decline. KmIt's irritating that all of these things happen regarding Nick and her, and still the fatso sees only the forest, and not trees.
Time and time again, Nick has said that Kayla is his one and only, because if anything ever happened to her, he could never enter the modern dating world because he would be to outdated to adapt to in order to try again. And yet, he now actively tries to or expresses a desire to cheat on her and make a sham out of their long-forged love and marriage.
She is this man's college sweetheart. Nick made it a mission to make her his. He fucking pretended TO BE GAY to get closer to her as a friend before dating her. Even his known-groomer blood brother obsessed with knowing how bad women can be/get let him know repeatedly that she passed the smell test.
But, nah though. Throw all of those warm memories into Sun because who cares about "the wife?" These internet friends who should the furthest out of your circle? They're all that matters. They're worth drinking yourself to death over. They're worth leaving behind a mourning widow and fatherless children over. They're worth flipping the bird to the only people, albeit anonymous, who want you to recover while they wish you immense pain for what you've become and done unto others.
I just want Nick's clan to live on for a million generations.
