I feel Sofia needs another arc focused on her for a "Sofia end" to feel justified. She unfortunately has to share her one and only arc with getting the series premise across to the readers. Meanwhile, Olivia seems to get more focus and screen time, as it seems she gets more "moments" sprinkled throughout the series, even outside of her arc. Sofia, on the other hand (at least to me), seems to flip flop between being 100% for a polycule, and being a little melancholic about not being the sole focus of Machino. Seriously, reread some of her conversations with Olivia and she ends up saying something along the lines of "Really! I love Machino too, isn't that great!"

I wanted to say several smart things but other peeps here have said them better already on the last page, so I'll just leave you with this well-thought out and eloquent statement: Olivia best girl.

I'm still hoping for poly, though I'm not sure Olivia would be up for it! But I'm fine with Sofia 'winning'

Well I’m glad that they are having her actually choose a girl to be with because I hate when it ends with either her having like 4 girlfriends or it ends with them staying in the same situation where they all are competing for her affection. It reminds me of another that recently ended. I forgot what it’s called but it’s a blonde girl that is helping someone else because she’s her “slave” to get with her short friend but she likes the blonde girl, then a girl with glasses kinda just pops up and she also likes the short girl but has given up and it ends with them being in some kind of messy love square or something?

YEAH SAME she's the best
no shade to other girl (can't even remember her name lol) but she's kinda boring to read about

FR. Like it feels like the author has more of a direction for Olivia? Maybe they like her more idk... but it shows. Sophia's kinda just... there.
