i think the beauty of twst stories is that they are all about growth. kalim and jamil would have never known how to reframe their relationship (and bitterness, and pain, which come with it) without jamil overblotting. it's the breaking point. it forced them to actively face the conflict at the core of their dynamic, the conflict that's the whole reason they ever met in the first place. it portrays the emotional breakdown as a good thing, a better alternative to a life spent simmering in unspoken worries. conflict isn't the enemy; it's the first step to a solution.
