I disagree with Fenix's changes because he hasn't mentioned how it was inaccurate to begin with...

I cannot pretend to know what Fenix meant when editing, but I can add my two cents:
Both of those entries were making it sound like it's some constantly repeated plot point in the first case, while in reality, it only turns up about twice from Aya and once from another character. In neither case it's as important sentence as the entry made it sound like.
And in the latter, I do believe the post was missing the point a bit and rather than an actual point, it reeked a bit too much of personal spite against the character. Not to mention, it is not really much of a Narm, but rather in-universe deliberate invocation of Strangled by the Red String. The relationship gets deconstructed over time, and the only purpose of the initial scenes being over the top is to emphasize how hollow it becomes with each passing kill. It may not be the best-executed example, and a few tropes would fit it, but Narm, in my opinion, not, and it would have to be better explained.
TL;DR: the entries as they were sounded a tad too much like a personal rant instead of a wiki entry.
In light of recent change: I absolutely agree with Fenix on topic of the Narm. However, maybe the potentially failed callback to Amunet could warrant a mention (since many people really don't remember statues from seven years ago). Narm is not the best trope for that either way. Do we have a better one to represent that?
