      Right? Did that other asshole wish for an X-Wing, or an X-Wing and support crew, structures and materiel to keep it running?

      Otherwise he’s gonna run out of fuel in a bit and be fucked, meanwhile other dude is just living his best life.

        He did get an R2 unit with it at least. Really, worst case scenario I bet he could sell it for way more than that wheelbarrow of cash is worth.

      Of the well showed the future of their choices, true love is the only one that has lasting happiness. The spaceship will need maintenance or a spare part that doesn’t exist. The money will be spent and put that person in the sight of predators. The superhero will be expected to use their powers for others and eventually lose their love or compassion for the job as it takes a toll on their mental and emotional help. It only takes one accident to show the flaw in all the choices but true love lasts. He can be on his deathbed and know he will not be alone. She can have the worst day of her life and know there is always someone there to help.

        Or she’ll die prematurely in an accident (maybe x-wing or superhero related) and he’ll die alone after going through life knowing there’s no one as perfect for him as she was.

        I mean you’re assuming I’m using my superpowers for good. I mean that’s not what I would do.

      Grass always appears greener on the other side. He made the right choice, but will forever try to figure out if there was a wish that could have gotten him true love and a spaceship

            True love is being willing to give almost anything for the other person. It is also being unwilling to accept that, because you would also be willing to do the same.

            Somewhere in the middle you find what is best for both of you.

        He should have wished to be the protagonist in his very own sci-fi space show set on a “light freighter” style of ship.

        Then you’re guaranteed at least two romance options (four, if you swing more than one way), your own ship, and plot armor.

          Ooh, good wish … only don’t make it a show, make it a life, because people on shows are only acting and the spaceships aren’t real

            I imagined it more like “the show is now your real life” but definitely didn’t specify “not becoming an actor to play a part” but yeah.

            Iwas envisioning something like Firefly, the Expanse (but less dangerous) or literally any game where the plot involves you being on a small cargo-capable ship with light guns and tons of questionable illegal mods.

            Let’s be honest, I was picturing the Millennium Falcon…
