## The choice to not choose
Fraser Brown chose not to decide between Geralt's relationships, telling both Yennefer and Triss he loved them, leaving them to go get drunk.

Geralt's inability to make a choice became the hardest decision, leaving him tied to a bed while Yennefer and Triss left for drinks.

> My inability to make a choice was the worst choice. But it also ended up feeling poignant, Geralt so often gets in the way of his own happiness.
