He wasn't manipulated. He was blinded by his feelings. To say he was manipulated puts blame on others when it was just as much his fault as it was heronia
I mean i also feel bad that the pair of them are like mentally retarded it seams. They're reaping what they've sown ╮(￣▽￣)╭
But if you've read it, he said that Heronia told him that he was just "guiding" them or whatever.
But idk. Just my opinion. ('◡')
Yep. Karma.
That poor spirit ;-; he was manipulated. And he even died in the end. My heart aches for him. What a tragic fate.
