Hot Take
Functional multiplicity and final fusion aren't really all that different in practice and experience, and you should all stop overthinking it
Worrying, fussing, and arguing is only going to stress you out, and we all know what stress does to systems
Relax and stop policing and scaring others, especially if you're not currently experiencing either
Slow down, take things one day a time, recognize and accept that your goals can change, that you collectively have more of a say in what happens than you think, and consider, maybe they're surprisingly similar experiences that are rewarding in ultimately similar ways
