You just have to accept the fact that what you're witnessing is a very special moment in the history of the universe.
Yeah, that's the conclusion I accepted as well. I still think it's very cheap and dull compared to the option.

But meh, it was the same thing when I found out what they had planned to do with Imoen in the original SoA. I kinda feel robbed of two moments that would've emotionally overwhelmed me, looking back at how they could've done it.

But well, ofc we must have happy endings to everything, yaddayadda. :P
