04. Knox "Key"'s Links
Makoto considers Knox his best friend second to Camille, the pair often getting into trouble together. Knox is Makoto's personal hypeman and vice versa, Makoto being Knox's self-described wingman for Knox when the other octoling wanted to ask Camille out. They share a mutual love for sweet food, and Makoto will often send his lewd photos to Knox for approval before passing them on to their intended recepient.
Despite the way Camille often treats Knox in public, he is very deeply in love with his boyfriend and has been since they were teenagers. Knox's house was often a refuge for Camille during his school years, to the point where Knox's family took him in and moved away from Camille's neglectful mother. Knox was an obvious candidate for CMYK, and Camille dreams of the day when they can move out of the sharehouse and start their own life together.
Knox thinks that Nii-chan is very cool, and appreciates that Nii-chan has a higher tolerance for his nonsense relative to most other people.
Nikko loves Knox and always has time for the octoling's antics. He is thankful that Makoto had a friend like Knox growing up. Nikko regularly eats at Knox's family's restaurant, and is known as a regular there.
