a close friend that used to go back since he first moved to boston back in 05'/06'. they ran with a group of individuals who were into seedy things (fraudulent scamming, grand theft auto, and other misc or petty crimes) for survival. very much a tight knit family type of crew that came together for various reasons. wanted to explore their friendship which is in some way similar to simon and jessica's but not without its complications, especially after nasim left boston late 2015 abruptly to step up for urgent fam business. can discuss all the details and other possible ideas if you're looking for something more meatier.
