Look, Laurie, I know you're trying to be Little Miss Sunshine and Positive Thoughts, and thank you so much for letting me know I know what the fuck I'm talking about, but don't push this line. Not with Manuel. You don't know what the hell you're talking about, so I'll give you the cliff notes.
Manuel and I used to be together, for about two years. We had an empathic link - he's an empath, manipulates and reads emotions, so he can do that - and I ended things by using magic to drain his life energy and rip it out of our heads. And then he ran right off the rails, used his powers on people without permission, and wound up being expelled. A lot of the time we were together I spent trying to help him when he pissed off pretty much everyone else. We both hurt a lot of people - I got lucky and would up with the Snow Valley crew and sorted myself out. He got hit by a truck and spent the last two years in a coma. No-one told us he was awake - I'm guessing it's because he either asked them not to, or they didn't want us to freak out.
Everyone deserves a second chance. I'm hoping like fuck that he's serious about his this time. But it's not him being Mr Storm Cloud of Negativity to ask for people who know him to give him a break. You saw what Forge called him, a monster - he's not the only one who thinks that and it's not something Manuel's making up.

Talk later?
