It seems like he's afraid of being alone. And Nikki was the only person he felt like he could be vulnerable with until it was too late and could have that with sara
This story wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Ian. Ian didn't tell bear they were sleeping together. He hyped up Bear and then at the bar stopped him from confessing, which I think was because he had true feelings for Nikki. Ian also could have told Nikki.
and weird and he didn't after the party. I think Ian is at the least just as bad as Bear. Bear did a lot of bad and awful things but most of it was because he was scared and alone. Like I feel like there's a lot to bear before the cat dies that plays into the way he acts.
@Mamiwatar Bear is still a villain but Ian is the cause of the whole entire situation. If Ian was upfront about him and Nikki and he didn't stop Bear at the bar none of this would have happened
