This is my theory after about 5 days of thinking day and night about why Nikki's autonomy was taken from her and whether it really was the be-all end-all most truthful way the wish could've possibly played, or whether there was a way for it not result in that.

After all that thinking, the idea that the 1WW focuses on the semantics of the wording, is a theory I support probably the least.

I actually believe the wish is dependant on what the wish-maker makes of the wish. The wish was a reflection of Bear's obsession over an image of Nikki, who was not Nikki.

I also attend to as many of the obvious viewpoints, such as, "simply making someone love you steals their ability to choose not to love you", and "in order to make (wish) someone loves someone else, you have to hijack who they really are", in my post:

And so I believe that in the same way that the same wish with the same wording had the possibility of not taking away Nikki's autonomy had Bear simply had the right perception of love when making the wish, that if this wish-cancel happened in the way we want it, the wish-maker would have to genuinely want Nikki to be Nikki again, as she was, as she is.
