The who I wanted to be a love interest is easy.
Jun from Waywalker’s University. Aha! I actually wrote up something about this during the Way Walker’s 2 beta test, so I’ll just copy and paste in here. Way Walkers 1&2 spoilers commence!
Jun was my friend, ever since we both got accepted, and we linked arms in celebration. We shared chores together, and he was there when everyone else thought I was too stuck up to work when really I was just shy and nervous. He was by my side when we were attacked by the land-drake, and I saved his life, and listened as he ranted about Cael, without judging him. I went to orientation with him, turning down Sem’s offer, and my heart sank when he introduced me to Ay’cura. Ay’cura who seemed like such a terrible gossip, but it was so obvious that Jun liked her, and he stopped having so much time for me, even though we shared a room.
Jun who I tried to explain how I felt by sending him affection during class, to let him know he was the most important person and how much he meant.
Jun who I joined the newspaper with so I could hang around him more, trailing after him like a puppy. Going along to the study group, and trying not to hurt too much when he clearly only had eyes for Ay’cura.
Jun, who warned me against going with Sem, who told me of his vision. So I ended up covering the show with him instead, taking him back stage and tried to get a good interview. and who during the attack, I turned back for, dying in order to save him. Jun who was the one who dragged me out of the wreckage and made sure I had a body to return to.
Jun who was there as I struggled with a broken body, which no longer worked as it should, and I tried to come to terms with my disability. Jun who I’d wake up from his nightmares and offer any sort of comfort I could. I was the only one Jun trusted enough to invite along with him to Lady Xin. I didn’t judge him for all the horrors he’d endured. I knew what it was like to have a body that didn’t work as it should, and in a little way I could empathise with the horrors he was enduring having someone else taking over, of being terrified of this great evil inside him. I did everything I could to try and help him, to try and give him the strength to overcome the Red within him. And when I fought, I spoke of how wonderful Jun was, using the power of my love, in order to lend the strength Jun needed to realise how amazing he was and to defeat the evil inside him.
So it was heart-breaking that he didn’t even realise I wanted to ask him to the dance as more than a friend. That he then asked me to help him ask Ay’cura out and shrugged off my comments about how I’d asked him first, and it was unfair of him to ask me to help. Although I did try my very best to be happy for him, the smiles hurt seeing them so perfect for eachother, so happy together. Even Sem couldn’t really cheer me up, and everyone going on about how great they were together stung. Even my Guide didn’t understand.
Although truly I’m as fond of the idea of the whole unrequited love idea as I am of a doomed relationship.
@Zanite I’d be a very vocal voice against Origami being a love interest, for the very reason that I suspect she’s not an option. That’s a spoiler though. But I’ll agree that there’s a rock solid explanation why it can’t be. Now Combat Wombat…
