Thinking about Rand and Richie’s friendship and I’m going a little insane
Richie was Rand’s only friend in town, do you think after Kian and Rolan left Rand would just go to their old hang out spots and ran into Richie there? Bizly said that Richie was younger them then in high school and that he was known as a dork. Do you think the first couple of times Rand brushed him away because he was just so angry at being left behind? Do you think Rand ever sat at the docks, racking through his brain trying to think of what he did wrong and how he’s stuck in Galloway unable to do anything, knowing his parents are disappointed, knowing Rachel is gone forever, knowing his best friends may never come back, thinking he’s all alone in this town so he just sits overlooking the water smoking and trying to distract from how this is now his life?
Do you think when he finally opened up to Richie and offered him a joint or a cigarette Rand realized that he needed a friend? someone to sit in silence and smoking with? And as time went on he started looking forward to meeting up with Richie and hanging out with him, the Kian and Rolan sized hole getting more manageable to work and live with. Do you think Richie saved Rand from an early grave and gave him something to look forward to? Do you think Richie would listen to Rand talking about the D&D game and bounce ideas off of him? Do you think Richie ever made a character so that he could join in the game? Do you think Richie was the one who suggested reaching out to Kian and Rolan to finish the game because he knew how much the story meant to Rand?
Do you think Richie looked up to Rand as an older brother and do you think Rand thought of him as a little brother? Someone he could protect and be there for like he couldn’t for Rachel? Do you think when they were going to the Quick Mart he was excited to introduce Kian and Rolan to Richie more officially and have all of his friends hang out?
Do you think Rand stood there in that alleyway seeing Richie’s melting body in the alleyway after just seeing him 10 minutes ago and everything was fine but now it’s not and he has to live with the pain of knowing he couldn’t do anything to help?

"Rand solely uses here last name and the only ones to use her first name are the older authority figures in her life that typically at the least dislike her. She doesn't even chose a name out of spite for so long"
