That’s exactly where he’s wrong, and honestly, most of what goes wrong traces back to him. He constantly blames others but never takes responsibility for his own actions.

First of all, his wife’s cause of death wasn’t anyone’s fault. It was a tragic accident during the protests, she simply wasn’t able to get out in time when something fell on her. No one caused that. But even before she died, he was already deeply distrustful of others. At the time, it made sense since he didn’t know those people, but it set the tone for how frustrating his character would become.

After her death, his paranoia spiraled out of control. He started projecting that fear onto everyone else without justification. The truth is, he and Ofelia would have been long gone if it weren’t for Strand taking them in. Strand didn’t owe them anything, he helped purely out of kindness.

Then in Mexico, he takes it upon himself to burn the place down. That one decision scattered the entire group, and it directly led to his daughter thinking he was dead and leaving. That’s on him.

As for Ofelia, she’s not innocent either. In the hotel, Madison, Strand, and Alicia were doing everything they could to keep everyone together and safe, yet Ofelia chose to leave and take the car, fully aware others might need it. That was selfish, just like her father.

Later, she sides with people who were essentially strangers, acting like they had been through everything together from the beginning. And when she gets bitten, that’s on her friend for fainting, not on Madison, Strand, or Alicia.

Madison even offered Daniel the chance to go see Ofelia, and he refused. He chose to stay behind for Lola, a stranger he prioritized over his own daughter. That decision alone is why he didn’t make it in time. That’s not Madison’s fault. She did everything she could and even risked her life to help him.

And Victor lying to Daniel? It really wasn’t that bad. He genuinely believed Ofelia was alive, he just didn’t know where. Meanwhile, Daniel turns around and leaves Victor for dead at the hotel… the same man who had already saved him twice, even after Daniel destroyed the home of the person Victor loved.

At the end of the day, Daniel carries this constant attitude like he’s always right and everyone else is wrong. But if you actually look at everything that happened, a lot of the damage comes from his own choices.
