What is absolute and extreme exactly?😆 I mean does absolution for Manik means a set of codes to follow? But then FAB5 are the biggest example of flaws, the more he learns the more he evolves, He wanted his friends to always share their secrets, but he accepted them as they came in light. Absolution? Also Dhruv. He thought Dhruv betrayed him, but he wasn't dense. He learned why Dhruv did what he did.Extreme and absolute is byond point of any emotion. Yes Manik has a code, he might not verbalize it but he defines his friendships, relationship on these codes- absolute trust being one criteria. He doesn't waver from it . it's not aobut fab5 following it , it's how Manik himself processes things. They hide because they know it might not sit well with him. They are afraid too.Like he cut down from Dhruv and Alya after he came to know about their betrayal- he only gave a change to Dhruv when he was put through a similar situation where he had to lie himself . Hence came the acceptance which is why he will regret pushing Nandini now , if he thinks back how himself has been in situation where he made a choice manipulated by the pressure like Album deal. He didn't forgive Dhruv instantaneously , Manik needs parallels to see flaws in his codes.
Another question.😆 If he didn't trust himself to recover from disappointment, fear, guilt and failure, how did he come to open up to possibilities and vulnerabilities in case of his friends and Nandini, not quite possible? And if he did, then he did?😆
He never opened to his friends , remember before shower scene , fab4 called and said Manik likes to deal with his issues alone . They still went to him, they never ask about his feelings because they know he likes to be left alone. he doesn't unburden . They give him company that is all. Nandini was different , she made him face his vulnerabilities and she saw through his facade because of situations not because he shared it with her willingly. That is the lack of communication.His need for Nandini stems from these vulnerabilities too, because in a way she is helping him see himself.
Noyonika shaped it in him. He never trusted himself to be good , even though he wanted to be one. He had it internalized in his head that he had to play bad because he is not capable of good , hence Dhruv the saviour
Legit kostin.😆 If he didn't trust himself to be good, how did he come to think that he can protect his friends?Because he became or projected himself invincible , Noyonika demanded it and he used it as an armour to save his friends who he thought were beyond fragile . Thats his inherent goodness in making the choice. He stressed on his need of winning because they didn't want people to bully them. That was how he took it all. To hide the pain from all the bullying they witnessed or experienced.Just like his child self locked in a room by his own mother.Ultimately he had to be good to them? to Dhruv? Or was his circle of good rather narrow? Selective?He like to make it seem narrow but then covering his victims and bullying was for his own guilt because that won't have sit well with him. hence he hid behind Dhruv.He also said he liked to be bad. That people anyway treated you the way you let them treat you, that 'nahi banna mujhe achha' not ever, 'im not capable of good' never doubt' for when the good inside him was needed, it came roaring out. The old home, fireflies, Dhruv, Rishab, Chacha Chachi.'Tumhaare saath hota hoon toh I feel like being good.' Another selectivity. Why would he feel like being good if he's not capable of it or if he doesn't trust his good?Or rather his goodside only comes out for the people he cares about? But its incapability is not in question then is it?Rida, nobody is saving he is not capable of good, on the contrary it's him who doesn't think so. hence his insecurity at Dhruv being the one who can only make Nandini smile. His insecurity at thinking only a good guy like Dhruv can be perfect for Nandini. It all screams that he doesn't think he can handle being good in real world, which is exactly why Noyonika wants him bad. Like she said, she doesn't want her son to be good.
Wouldn't we call it a choice? Because the monster didn't exactly exist for everyone?It is his choice which arises from his need to hide from vulnerabilities . Monster is not permanent , Manik has multiple shades, just at extreme pressure points his basic instinct is to reach for his monster mask.
