Marcus is entertaining, and he does really make me laugh sometime, but he does have this dark part to him; a disregard for others.
Siavash has a gentle soul. He cares deeply for others. His loyalty knows no bounds.
He is also handsome, stylish and funny. I'd love to meet him ne day.
Anyway back to my point; Siavash going would be victory for that crowd of Lisa, Charlie, Rodrigo etc.
Marcus went to them rather than stick up for his friend.
When Marcus was found with smokes. Siavash stood by him, and tried to calm the others. Where was Marcus when it was his turn to be brave for a friend. He was out making his peace with Charlie, saying what a bad person Siavash was.
