About halfway through the first draft, I realised the theme was drifting-- and about three quarters of the way through, I stopped fighting it :P. It came to a point where I realised the main character constantly going "I don't actually care if [Other Character] loves me back, I care that I can help them" was, like, true, and that our main character's problem is way less "Does [Other Character] like him back?" and way more "Uh, maybe you should stop setting yourself on fire to keep him warm? Maybe?"
