When we were discussing how unjustified Bella and Nika's actions are, you mentioned that everything went downhill because Mario called Mila trash. I actually wanted to tell you that he was just standing in a group of his friends, but I wasn't sure, so I decided to wait until I got back into the game and check it myself. Anyway, I was right, he said nothing to her.
Basically, the whole bullshit is revenge for insulting Nika's hair lol.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
You're right, it just shows how I was predisposed to believing Nika and Bella's dialogue. The next thing Mario actually says is "disgusting trash" when Mila pulls Nika away. The intent of Ocean appears that Mario is the ringleader, especially as later we find out that Vanessa knows all about Ms Steiner, and Stefan presses charges against Mila. How does Stefan know Mila, except through Mario? But this is completely unknown to Nika at the time when he acts.No, the subcontext is still important. It was 50% to avenge Mila, 25% to help Bella (more if you're a filthy member of Team Bella) and another 25 just cause.
The reason (as you say) Nika focuses on Mario is he was personally insulted, and the convenience of him being Bella's neighbour.
This actually hightlights my point even more, that it's all over nothing. Nika's getting revenge on a guy because he feels insulted, just like Summer's parents called him trash. But immediately after the insult, he praises Mila for not reacting and taking the long view. So the whole criminal event, the plot to corrupt Stefan with a corrupted Vanessa, blackmail, breaking and entering is because he was insulted and it's easier to go after the nearest target without considering anything more deeply.
