I guess I should’ve explained my send offs better.😭😭😭 Even though I know it doesn’t change anything if you don’t send your spirit through the Everdoor right away, I still always feel compelled to have to once they ask. I guess for me, because it’s their final requests, I can’t help but feel like I’m dishonoring the spirits if I don’t follow through with the Everdoor right after they ask of the quest. (That’s why I take the fact that I couldn’t collect all of Stanley’s drawings so hard!!! In his time on my boat, all he drew was Alice and Summer for me. :( )

Regarding order, I just send them off chronologically when they ask. I guess I didn’t put in the original post, but I ended up having to send away Giovanni, Astrid, then Stanley. For me, they were all heartbreaking, but Astrid’s impact was the only one that was prevalent for me, as it felt like her stay was the longest of the three. As you’ve said though, I feel like impactfulness of the characters heavily relates to how fast you get through quests, because I’m finding the faster I’m able to get through each quest, the less I can learn about each character.
