TRVA123:
How does Sven confessing he loves Faye affect Dora?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only bit of social savvyness I remember Sven ever showing was on his pretend-date with Hanners, where he where he talks about taking girls into places she wouldn't usually go to impress her. That's not exactly Machiavelli; I'd easily believe he picked that up from a romantic comedy too.

Directly? Not at all. One could argue it is just another example of the type of behavior from him she doesn't want in her life anymore. As I said before, her decision is not based on this situation alone
TRVA123:
In the same sense, Dora cutting Sven out of her life will affect Faye. Indirectly. Faye will have to deal with the fallout that is inevitable when someone publicly cuts another out of their life. She will probably have to spend time comforting Dora, maybe talk with Sven, etc. It adds another layer to every interaction, more energy that will need to be spent on this.
Is it cold in here?:

There was Vespavenger, but your point is well taken. Somewhere in a long-ago Q&A Jeph said he's never written an argument where one party was completely right.
