Bobby, Moritz, Thea, Anna, Max, Reinhold, Ilse, Hanschen
Since I’ve already answered a few of these, I am just going to repeat those answers here for your convenience.
Bobby - Even though I’ve known Bobby for a little while, I only recently connected his name to my experiences with him. He’s reckless and somewhat foolish, but he’s also a very caring person to both friends and strangers alike. He and I have had some fun times together, although most of them were probably not performed under the most rational of circumstances.
Moritz - I love Moritz very dearly. I have always loved him to some degree, but my affection for him was not always romantic, and not always as much as it should have been. I’ve let him down more times than I’d like to admit, and he still manages to forgive me somehow. If I believed that people deserved anything, I wouldn’t deserve him. He is too kind and too gentle to be in love with me, and I can hardly believe that he is.
Thea - I feel like Thea and I mostly argue at this point, which I don’t mind. I’m always up for a debate. She’s become a lot more vocal as we’ve gotten older, or maybe she just didn’t talk to me when we were younger. She’s very true to herself, which I almost always admire in someone, and admire in her.
Anna - Like so many others, I admire Anna’s honesty. I don’t always understand her humor, but she has a very kind personality without being too soft that she lets others hurt her or her friends. We’re not particularly close, and she can sometimes be intimidating, but she is fun to be around.
Max - Max is somewhat of a curious puzzle. He’s a philosopher in his own right, and always seems to know what to say when I’m talking to him. I haven’t known him for very long, but I also think that doesn’t really matter.
Reinhold - I’ll admit, I was terrified of Reinhold for a long time. Not only for what he did to me, but also because of the way my fears amplified my image of him. I used to see him and the others in my nightmares, and was incredibly wary when I heard he was returning - much more than I ever let on. But I’ve gradually begun to realize that much of what he did was a product of our situation, and that we’ve both changed so much since last year. I enjoy his bluntness and think that we could be good friends.
Ilse - Ilse is one of the friends I’ve held the longest, even though our levels of interaction have shifted over time. She’s wonderfully bright and has a way of thinking that is often confusing but always insightful. She helps me to remember how to live outside of my own head.
Hanschen - Hanschen and I often butt heads, but he is one of the people I trust to a higher degree (although perhaps that is foolish of me). I sometimes envy the way he goes unburdened despite his intellect. He thrives on antagonizing me, and I’ll admit that I engage more often than not because I like it as well.
