One of the things I really liked about it is that there was no explosive denouement (apart from PIke's hug), and Una and Neera didn't automagically become BFFs again at the end. 25 years is a longass time. Even excluding ideological positions, they're strangers now. They probably won't send each other birthday cards. They won't send each other memes on Whatsapp. They won't invite each other to weddings and shit.
And that's okay. Or maybe I'm just projecting. Sometimes I see friends I haven't spoken to in 10+ years on social media, and I think damn back then we couldn't let a day pass without at least a text. But whatever the reason for falling out of touch, I would say I'd be glad if they're thriving and hope things get better for them if they're not. But no interest in rekindling the friendship or initiating contact. And that's okay.
The kind asking for advice or recommendations, but had done zero research and includes minimal context. For example:
Thread: What's a good city to go on vacation for a week where you don't need to rent a car?
Replies: Hmmm Barcelona, Taipei, Tokyo, Prague, Istanbul.
OP: Oh my budget is only $3.50 and I'm from Nebraska and don't have a passport.
