Nicky Kezwick's Links
(Hinimato Act III/IV-ish. Nicky is 20+)
Nicky thinks Nobuyuki is an interesting guy. He thinks that about most people, but the fact still stands.
Nicky doesn't involve himself in Nobuyuki's rivalry with Higgy, but even he has to admit that Nobuyuki's pranks are quite creative. Nicky always secretly liked Higgy's voice cracks, and thought Nobuyuki's idea to make a soundfont out of them was brilliant. If done without malice, he believes it could be innovative.
t wouldn't be Nobuyuki if he didn't kind of favor the group dreamboat. Nicky kind of reminds him of Isao, in the sense of being absolutely huge and having seemingly infinite patience. He's very fond of him, enjoying his company the most for his kindness and genuine, friendly curiosity when they talk.
He'd be lying if he said he didn't have a bit of a crush on him, though.
