Keefe does NOT need Sophie, he needs a therapist. And if you feel you have to try hard for someone to like you, you don't deserve them. I don't think Sophie will give Keefe what HE needs. He needs someone independent and tough, who will let him be independent rather than relying on him. Keefe is broken, he does not need someone to take care of, he needs someone who will be their own person. And Sophie is not confident. She doesn't believe the things anyone tells her, doesn't accept compliments and has anxiety.

As I've said a million times, Keefe devoting himself to one person and one person only is not healthy. I don't think Fitz is perfect for Sophie, but he's less broken and, like Keefe, Sophie needs someone who is confident in themself. Fitz is more this person than Keefe. But my argument isn't so much why Sophitz should happen. It's why Sokeefe shouldn't. He THINKS he needs Sophie. But having to take care of her is only going to make him care about himself less, and I'm sorry, being selfless isn't a good quality when it goes too far. I'd argue this for Tam joining the Neverseen as well, though he was put on the spot. Keefe has a choice, and he needs to let Sophie go.
