this works because reena is sort of wendy-like in that she never had time to be a kid and kinda just grew up super fast. she’s super big into “follow your heart and it’ll come” but she’s also super unpredictable and tends to spiral and go do something wild (tattoos, play wild shows, go on a random road trip) when she feels too bogged down… which is mostly from caring from those she loves. they can be inseparable work pals! he’s probably the only one she trusts to help her in something as vulnerable as music (for her at least) and her club which she takes her responsibility to the lgbtq+ community super seriously and is so passionate about whatever she can do to help… he also sounds a lot like her childhood friend ~fooled so i can see him being her work half bestie in the fun portions of her work at the bar and in the band!
