i'm good with that too! his band didn't have the most favored reputation in the scene before (and especially after) they got big, but it's kind of something nobody really says to him anymore (since his best friends/band died) unless they're trying to be a dick. he's actually pretty talented himself, but really out of practice and only barely dusting off the cobwebs from his hiatus. i'm pretty sure he knew luce before the crash, but he didn't start coming back out to shows and stuff until about 2013 or so anyway, and i think that was about when he started getting involved in what he's involved with now. SO we might be able to say they have mutual friends that col maybe doesn't associate with anymore? (unless he does still associate with them?) that could make for any number of potentially interesting things to work with down the line.
