Questions/Discussion
Can I swap out よねださんに to よねださんから?
probably not with もらう, since in any case から marks "from" (who gave the thing, giver) and に marks "to" (who got the thing, recipient). so nah the particles are actually antonyms and can't be switched around without changing/flipping the meaning.
