Like, the only directive the wish gave Nikki was to "love Bear more than anyone in the fucking world". The love born from it can only be abusive. Nikki showed almost no qualm about killing people close to Bear and mentally blackmailing him into reciprocating, but could she physically harm him? Do you think the wish would physically barre her from doing that or would she just use that to coerce Bear into loving her back if nothing works?

I watched the movie not long ago and I really love how the set piece of the movie indirectly communicated how much of a social shut-in Bear was. It could be a product of the small budget, partially, but I think Curry did an amazing job regardless.

You can truly feel how claustrophobically empty Bear's life is. He went to work, he went home, sometimes he was at his friends' houses or the trivia nights. He leeched off his friends' social life, and without them hanging around, he was pretty much an empty person with nothing going for him.

Wish-Nikky had so little to work with when it comes to loving Bear that the only things she could grasp onto is the dead cat and his random comment about being a food critic.

It's hard to articulate but this manifested onto Wish-Nikky as well. When Bear dragged her along into his life, you can feel how out of place she is. She's like a sore thump sticking out of his empty, shut-in life.
