i think Clara's cold attitude toward Daniel will definitely affect him. Daniel has a crush on Clara and her acting cold will only hurt him. i think maybe this can be considered a life lesson. sometimes it's better to be in a relationship with someone closer to your age. they will have more in common with you and have similar life experiences.
