Idk how author is redeeming him

Look idk how this is redeeming him or how this will help him sort his feelings. I would have love to see more of him going crazy and been force by his coach to go with a therapist or something. This dude needs emotional al education and everyone around him just let him and won’t say anything. Dan needs someone who will stand up for him and let JK know the f true of his actions and emotional turmoil. We know they will end up together but damn he needs therapy for his mental health.
