I keep coming back to Rand and Moiraine's conversation in the tent in S3E8. It's a really good moment, something we've been building towards all season but it also makes me So Sad. Because yes, it's a moment of genuine connection and acknowledment between the two but in my eyes it's all contingent on Rand accepting/embracing the role of the Dragon Reborn and dissociating from Rand al'Thor.
When he told Moiraine earlier in the season that she's "never once helped him", that's him - rightfully, in my eyes - calling out the fact that she sees/treats him only as a symbol with no care for his personhood. And now in this conversation she admits to that, that she played a part in the attack in Tar Valon, that she suspected what was happening to Egwene. She admits that she's actively trying to separate him from his friends and eliminate outside influence.
Rand's able to see past that and show gratitude, because finally Moiraine is honest and open, but also only because he accepts/buys into her dehumanization of him, and it's difficult to see because so far he's fought So Hard against his destined path and to hold onto his sense of self. But after the events of this season it's become increasingly clear that only misery awaits. His greatest fears have manifested and he has all the reason to expect it to only get worse and holding onto 'just Rand, who dreams of herding his sheep in the mountains and a starting family' will just make the inevitable hurt so much more. The Dragon Reborn on the other hand, he's prophecied. His path is promised and comitted to writing. Even if he succeeds he's bound to go mad with channeling, to cause destruction in his wake. The choice of it all is out of his hands and so there's no point in still struggling, and maybe some sense of peace in admitting that defeat?
And I don't mean to villianize Moiraine, she's not ruthless because she enjoys it and the only the reason she can ask for Rand to sacrifice, well everything, is because she's done it too. Doesn't lessen the tragedy of it though.
God forbid a woman lets loose, gets a dramatic makeover and hikes across the desert to murder her reincarnated ex. Let the girl go through her break up process. She could have gotten bangs or written a poem about Rand where she calls him Bland Al Thor, but instead she decided to be healthy and let it all out.

On the seventh of October I am teacher Mahmoud Atta. I work as a teacher teaching secondary school students.
On October 7th, I was getting ready to go to school. On October 7th, while I was getting ready to go to school, my life was completely turned upside down. Israel declared war on Gaza. After that, they announced their entry into the roads and cities and forced us to leave the city from Khan Yunis to Rafah
.
We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. If you survived, your brother would not.
We've all seen the end of the world movies on the big screen. We have all seen end of the world movies on cinema screens, but what we saw was real and not imaginary. I wish it was imaginary.
We finally arrived in Rafah Finally we arrived in Rafah, the safe city as it is called, but where to go? The sea is behind us, the weather is freezing, and the borders are closed with Egypt on the other side and Israel on the third and fourth sides. I found myself making a tent out of nylon for myself and my family.
No water, no electricity, no food, no place to go to the bathroom, no life. I wish I had died sooner.
We returned after a long time to our city.After a long time, we returned to our city. The first sight was that a giant monster had entered the city and left it in ruins, so much so that I did not recognize my house or my neighborhood. Oh my God, is this Khan Yunis?
fI searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed. I searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed.

I hope you're well. I'm not well. I'm living in harsh conditions during the war, especially since I lost part of my family and my home. I live in a tent with my twin children. They need diapers, food, and medicine. I live alone with my children inside the tent, even though it's not a suitable place to live and not safe for my children. All I want from you is your help, because it means a lot to me and will help save the lives of my young children. Please, friends.🇵🇸💔😭🇵🇸🇵🇸
The war has returned again, Gaza is under bombardment and my area is being subjected to heavy shelling. We have lost hope in our rights. We must evacuate this city where there is no security. Donate to my family again, you are our only hope.
