So I guess ultimately my question is why are we assuming that Nayuta specifically meant “Denji belongs to me definitively, and you are trying to take his attention away from me?”
Aside from the fact that narrative misdirection is a thing and that I think it would completely contradict all the themes of the story thus far to just have her be Makima 2.0 and inherently evil...
We don’t actually know if she and Yoru recognize each other or not? Even on a subconscious level. If she does recognize Yoru (and, reasonably, knows how her powers work) calling Yoru a thief could have meant that “You are trying to steal Denji’s spinal cord to make a weapon” or even “You have stolen this random girl’s body to use for yourself.” (Even if she doesn’t know specifically that Yoru is sharing Asa’s body, she might still be able to tell that something weird is going on?)
She’s still a child, she might have just impulsively said the smallest amount of words that would sort-of convey what she was feeling.
I’m not worried yet.
Yet.

Transcript:
[Wyatt flinches as Courtney’s palm collides with his cheek, though realises he should have expected as much]
Courtney: Sorry doesn’t cut it! What the hell is wrong with you?!
Wyatt: I don’t know! It’s not like I want to be-…
Courtney: You literally have no idea, do you?
Wyatt: I do! I just wanted to explain.
Oscar: You’ve got ten seconds before I launch you down those fucking stairs.
Wyatt: Uhm-.. what’s his name?
Oscar: Yeah, no.
Wyatt: I never would’ve done it if I knew, why didn’t you say anything?
Courtney: I didn’t know…
Oscar: It’s fucked up either way!
Wyatt: I sent you somewhere you’d be safe on purpose, I-…
Courtney: [scoffs] Safe-.. and what about everyone else, tough luck?
Wyatt: That’s not-.. Ash didn’t exactly tell me the whole truth, I thought they’d work for him.
Oscar: Come off it, you could’ve guessed as much.
Wyatt: I guess I ignored it because-.. well, I won’t bore you with the why; but I know it was wrong.
Oscar: Yet you carried on regardless.
Wyatt: I’ve tried to put things right. I came here for your sake, not mine; if you’d let me explain everything.
Courtney: [sighs] Half an hour, max.
…
Wyatt: I’m not here for absolution. You started all this; I figured you deserved the whole story, and now you have it.
Courtney: I could’ve handled Dale, you shouldn’t have-…
Wyatt: You don’t know that, men like him-…
Oscar: Men like you.
Wyatt: It’s true that I don’t experience emotion the same as others-.. it makes it easier to do terrible things, but there’s a reason behind every decision I make. I do have morals, they’re just extremely easy to ignore. In the future, I-…
Oscar: [scoffs] The future, as if you’ve got one.
Courtney: Oscar, we can’t…
[Oscar glares at Wyatt, then Courtney; returning the look, she motions toward the kitchen]

hm feel free to tell me ur thoughts if youd like friends but basically my friends did text abt doing dinner and i was like 'im sorry i cant tn feel free to go w/o me or lmk if you wanna do another day' and ofc i caught stupid messages back just like 'booooooooooo' 'i cant till next week at least' 'what time r u busy til eye roll' and ill be honest here i fucking lied not that i should have to even give some big explanation but i was like 'well i have class till 5 (theoretically i would) and then have a meeting that doesnt have an end time' basically pretended the one from yesterday. and then i even sent a followup like 'if you guys end up just hanging out at someones place or you grab drinks or anything ill try to stop by later on' and the one sends a message back like 'do you think if we planned on a day next week you could commit to that?' fucking condescending as hell and to that i literally said 'Hm well idk' and then they were just like 'No days next week?' 'just wondering i mean bc maybe the three of us can just go and then we can plan on something lower commitment some other time.' fuck you first of all. and then a 'i get it if it's too last minute!' from my one friend um so thanks to her i guess and i sent smth kinda snarky back like 'well it's not like we had an actual commitment for any day but by all means go and ill certainly try to carve time out in my schedule some other time yeah!' and ive had the notifs muted bc i just dont want to deal with it rn. why am i not allowed to not be available why am i automatically some flaky low commitment bitch who has to be constantly berated in the chat while yall also ignore pretty much everything i say. im not doing that. and this just confirms my suspicions that they already see me in a certain way why should i have to bother when i HAVE still tried to see them and at least offer alternatives when i cant make it to things. also the semester just started like

Whadda heck are words? What’s dialogue? I’m struggling. Leo’s poor decisions on Nar Shadaa continue to be unraveled by our non-local agent adksfnlsaf
This is doing numbers on me emotionally and also cause good stars above how do people flirt I’ve suddenly never seen a romance in my life Tyr go easy on me dude (Cipher Nine kisses you and diagnoses you with Emotions, Would You Like to Talk About Them? more at 11?)
When he returns to the room, Leo’s curled up with one of the pillows, a hand twining idly in a long lock of dark hair with unfocused dark eyes settled somewhere along the wall.
Tyr props a shoulder in the doorway and flashes a grin. “Miss me?”
Leo blinks, brought back into the present before he smiles and tosses his hair back over his shoulder. “You stayed.”
Tyr bluffs a light huff of laughter. “‘Course I did, gorgeous,” he teases as he saunters over. “Y’don’t find goods like this just anywhere, right?” He momentarily caresses Leo’s ass before he falls back into bed with him, Leo rolling onto his back to let Tyr straddle him again.
Tyr brushes his hair back from his eyes. “Hey,” he says softly, “Wha’s a matter? Somethin’ on your mind?”
Leo shakes his head, but his gaze remains elusive. Tyr works fingers gently through his hair for a few more moments, carefully teasing out knots he comes across. Leo’s fingers tangle in his shirt at his sides, twisting slowly a few times until the fabric is pulled more taught across his back.
Tyr stops and looks back down at him. “If you’re uncomfortable, just say the word,” he says. “You owe me nothing, Captain.”
Leo’s head shakes again. “It’s… It’s not…”
Tyr’s hands settle on either side of his head, just enough to brace himself. “Drinks catchin’ up with you, handsome?”
Leo’s nose screws up in a mild frown that pulls a faint breath of a chuckle out of Tyr. He settles beside the smuggler, resting against one arm. “D’you wanna talk?”
Leo’s frown wavers for a moment as he shuffles to face him. “Awfully uh… awfully accommodation’ for a man I picked up at a cantina.”
Tyr offers him a softer smile before he reaches out and traces a finger softly down Leo’s nose. “Troubles are a credit a piece, Captain,” he says. “Sometimes cheaper. They ain’t so easy to solve, though.”

I wish content creators understood that when they do a sponsorship of a product or service that has LOADS of controversy that they then have to go “oops my bad I didn’t know!!” Like… that’s worse than if they were like “yeah I knew” lmao
Like oh good you’re so blinded by a fat paycheck you can’t show any respect or care towards your own brand or the people you’re attempting to sell these things to (who are usually straight up fans) by taking 2 seconds to google the thing you’re about to slap your face and approval all over.
At least people who know the controversy and don’t care are showing they researched the damn thing first.
