And they love him. If not for the fact that it is out of his character, he wanted to shout it to the world.
That Katarina, the most beautiful woman in the world loves him. The most beautiful woman in the world. Katarina did not show it and she would not admit it but she does like the title of the most beautiful woman in the world
Who would hate being complimented?
And Sofia, his one sided love that broke his heart by dating some jock when he was in high school now loves him.
Maybe that is why he hates athletic guy like Raymond. It is why he hates seeing Sofia getting close with Raymond.
It is petty, yes. But he never said he was not a petty guy. He does not show this side to Sofia. Because it is his worst side.
And nobody who wanted someone to love them would intentionally show their worst side to the people they like, because they want the person they like to see them the way they wanted it to be seen.
