The narrator believes Javen is emotionally unavailable and likely to cause trauma for Katisha. The narrator acknowledges Demola offered the romantic connection Katisha appeared to want while Javen avoided commitment. The narrator temporarily entertains that Katisha may see qualities in Javen that others do not. A mixer incident where Javen flirted with Sophie after she described not being able to sit without exposing herself intensified concerns. Katisha and Javen have exhibited dismal vibes since leaving the pods, prompting group questioning and Javen's growing uncertainty after Katisha's prior reassurance to Demola.
On most nights, I sleep peacefully, swaddled in the knowledge that I am right in all things and that all of my takes are good ones. But for the past week, I will admit, I've been tossing and turning, haunted by a harrowing and highly specific fear: Was I wrong to say that Katisha made a mistake in picking Javen? Perish the thought!
To be clear, I stand by my initial assessment of Javen: I have an excellent radar for emotionally unavailable flakes, and he's basically a Kellogg's box of potential traumas. Still, who am I to decide whom Katisha should and should not love? Yes, Demola was right there, offering the romantic connection that she supposedly wanted while Javen dodged her pleas for commitment, but hey - if she wasn't feeling it, she wasn't feeling it.
Going into this week, I opened my heart to the possibility that Katisha sees something in Javen that I do not. Maybe she doesn't want a guy who brings his full self to the table! But then, there was that disastrous mixer, where he started flirting with Sophie - who told him she couldn't sit down in her dress, lest the whole room see her vagina. Javen didn't seem to mind that mental image, and things deteriorated quickly.
