Jimmy and Lizzie chose Scar. Do you understand how rarely Scar is wanted in this series?

No one wanted to team with him in third life, Grian agreed out of guilt and stayed because of what they had built together. Love came after, but he originally went with Scar out of pity and/or obligation

He was alone in last life for the most part

His soulmate avoided and ultimately cheated on him in double life

He had a family in limited life, but it was fairly dysfunctional. They loved each other, sure, but they didn’t seem to particularly like each other

He was alone in secret life, the game itself antagonizing him to every other player, ensuring he had no allies or friends

But now, in wild life, he and Jimmy sought each other out. They gravitated towards each other the second the game started and didn’t hesitate or second guess each other. Everyone else in these games view both of them as a liability, but together they don’t have to worry about being the weak link, they can just be. And Lizzie, also someone who often ends up alone, Scar didn’t ask her if she wanted to join them, merely stating that she would always be welcome if she so desired. She was hesitant to accept in fear of seeming desperate, but the three of them are all just so excited to be wanted, to be sought after, to be cared about on purpose. There’s something so gentle, so loving in how the three of them came together; deciding that no one is being left behind this time, making sure no one is made to feel like an inconvenience, saying that you are not an afterthought, that your presence is something to be treasured, that you are wanted.
