It seems as though the bond between Tissaia de Vries and Yennefer of Vengerberg is, in some ways, shared by MyAnna Buring and Anya Chalotra, albeit presumably with less eel-related threats. The latter, during a July 2023 interview with Vulture, said, "MyAnna means so much to me. She was there [on] day one. She looked after me in Season 1, and has through the seasons — not only me, but everyone on set. She gives so much. That loss is huge for the show and huge for Yennefer." Chalotra also mentioned that she would spend time with Buring's family during the filming process, which indicates a closer bond than one between cordial coworkers.
There's a happy ending here, of sorts, to be shared. During her 2023 with Insider, after Buring confessed to tears, she added a heartfelt button. She spoke of a precious time spent with her fellow castmates, whom she affectionately referred to with a pet name: "[After I bawled], all the Aretuza gang were in the makeup room, so I think we celebrated with bubbly and joy and laughter and dancing as we always did."
The picture Buring paints is blessedly disparate from the tone of "The Witcher" Season 3. And it's difficult not to imagine Buring speaking to Chalotra in the same way that Tissaia writes to Yennefer in her final note. "Teaching you has been the biggest bright spot of my life," writes Tissaia. "And I would love to see you through the next leg of your journey. I know you will do great things, my daughter." And maybe she will — maybe Buring will happily await "The Witcher"'s delayed Season 4 so she can support her friend, just in a new way.
