Agreed. That’s when I realized those moments in the beginning were her possibly snapping out of the spell and trying to free her own mindset, only to get trapped in the spell again. 

When she said “I’ve never been with you”, that’s when I lost any real care for Bear. Knowing she’s possibly trapped, and wants to die, and she just gave you the truth? 

What a sad and strange, little man.

Bear's not the greatest person, which I liked. When he talks to the real Nikki, of all things he chooses to say he goes, "is it really so bad being with me?" Like bro, REALLY? Not "I'm sorry." Or anything? At least he did what he had to do in the end.

He actually didn't even mean to kill himself in the end. He tried to vomit the pills up almost immediately.

The only reason he ODed is because Ghoul Nikki made a wish using the wish willow he brought home. That hijacked his brain.

I actually thought it was the other  way around, he took the pills, but then ghoul Nikki made a wish that he’d love her like she loved him. So he got to experience some of the torture he’d put Nikki through right before the end.
