It did seem a bit abrupt, but I also got the sense that Nicky and Ovi were way more disturbed about the erasure than anything that had actually gone down between Mike and Tom before they decided to erase one another from memory. So, on that level, I could see them wanting them back together, or at least not objecting, because the traumatic part for them was the idea that someone could erase everything they'd been to each other. And Tom and Mike getting back together proves that not everything can be erased after all.

I could 100% buy this interpretation, but then Nicky and Ovi aren't looking out for their friends, but instead are safeguarding their own perceptions of the permanency of love. Which is kind of :/ to me.

Well, I don't think that Nicky and Ovi didn't care about Mike and Tom, but I think their reaction to the erasure was not 100% rooted in that caring. Ovi was explicitly disturbed by the idea that Nicky could erase their eight-year relationship in 10 hours.

Yeah, that part I was OK with. It was the idea that their reaction to Mike and Tom getting back together might not be rooted in their caring that bothered me, because it's the reading of the text that makes the most sense to me and it kind of says shitty things about Nicky and Ovi as friends.

I mean, it's not great, but how shitty they are as friends depends on how shitty Mike and Tom were to each other before they broke up. I don't get the impression that they were that bad, so Nicky and Ovi were disturbed by the erasure and thought that was the whole problem. I just don't think that was too separate from how disturbed they were by the idea of erasing other people in general, which clearly had a lot to do with how they felt about their own relationship.
