This is mainly due to the fact that he feels because of his homosexuality as disregarded and marginalized. At least he maintains a very close friendship with Elli, who became his best friend during his baccalaureate. Her happy and combative nature impresses him greatly and with her help, he creates a well-functioning partner replacement: the typical youthful weekend escapism in the form of party, alcohol and drugs. He manages to escape...
