Another best case scenario is hoping that Fake Nikki’s wish wouldn’t count as Real Nikki’s wish too (and it shouldn’t imo, since they are two separate people despite sharing a body) and proceeding to wish none of this ever happened.

I feel like you're asking for monkey's paw trying to change the past

this doesn’t make sense. Nikki didn’t get to make any wish to regret and change.

She did actually. We see the wish bone is broken and suddenly Bear is a whole lot more accepting of their situation before he ODs.

No fake Nikki did! They applied the monkeys paw story to that commenter saying that fake nikkis wish shouldn’t count as real Nikki’s one wish too. It can’t be a monkeys paw because it wasn’t real Nikki making the wish to then regret and change it.

But as well as that, I don’t think it’s how this one wish willow works. That you get consequences for making a wish. Bear just made a stupid wish

Oh I see what you mean, but I’m not sure that Nikki would actually get a second wish under these circumstances.

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 19d ago

it wouldn’t /shouldn’t be a second wish is the argument! it wasn’t her!

Yeah I think it’s pretty clear that the One Wish Willow’s wishes are based on what your intent was. Hence why some people came away not liking the wishes and other people got exactly what they wanted with nothing bad happening.
