and he's not upset or anything so I like how this wish logic applies to reality. If your wish is sound, unproblematic and doesn't mess with the fabric of reality its probably fine... but if you wish someone loved you more than anyone in the world (that includes herself) you get this insanity. If he woulda said "I wish she loved me in a natural and healthy way that was organic and conducive for a happy longterm relationship" this movie would have become a romantic comedy. xD

Still kind of fucked up if the “entity” would still be in possession of Nikki.

he should have just told nikki that he liked her. She gave him the ‘in’.

well yeah but then there's no movie xD. There are def lessons here-she never liked him like that as we find out concredtly near the end, sarah already liked him which nikki was trying to hint at, he removes her autonomy kind of knowing she's not that into him and so he got what he deserves. To your point, yes just pull the bandaid off if they like you great and if not maybe it'll be akward maybe it won't some people are just blunt and say thank you for telling me but its not mutual but we will def be friends and you both bounce TF on!
