I can see what you mean, Marc is definitely the alpha of their friendship but Cristian is throwing himself into tasks and events now, speaking up for himself in group discussions and generally seems to be moping less. Just because he's following Marc doesn't mean he's a sheep or unhappy. The lad is very insecure. Despite his looks and his success in his career Cristian had a tough enough life. He had to deal with a tumor on the side of his head, partial deafness, his school expecting him to flunk and his classmates bullying him when he was getting into rapping.

Out of all this he grew to be a good looking, talented guy who did very well in school. He's been put down a lot of his life and Marc doesn't do that to him. He's a nice guy and Cristian gets to be a bit more confident when standing beside someone like Marc who is dripping with confidence.
