Idk if it’s just me, but Manuel is giving Ashley Yohan treatment. Everything was fine when she would go visit him, and (like Daniele and Yohan) they were fine the first few moments together. It wasn’t until he found out she was a practicing which (similar to Daniele) and that he seemingly had ulterior motives that he started acting different. Now he’s mean and acts indifferent toward Ashley, just like Yohan toward Daniele. I’ve just noticed similarities between Ashley and Daniele’s personalities and Yohan and Manuel’s.
I was thinking this exact same thing yesterday
