I'm sorry I died off on plotting, but I'm pleased to see you bringing him in! I really do love the sound of him and I think it'll be fun to get these two "reacquainted" and possibly steer them toward a solid friendship. Dylan is blindly encouraging of anyone in a band, regardless of their talent, because he knows how difficult it is to create...and also that's just the kind of guy he is. So I'm still going to say he was a supporter/fan, even if just on principle, lol. And also, he just has a soft spot for that kind of bullshit mediocre music. He grew up with it, it's nostalgic. But if you want to, we can say they've been acquainted for as far back as ten years? Whatever works best for you. It's flexible on my end!
