Friends... with him? No, people who try to get close to him don't really know who they're playing with. The person he is now doesn't feel like a solid foundation for anything. How can anyone place their trust in him for anything important, when Nero can't put any trust in himself?
Beyond that, friendship isn't really something a wizard has a chance to develop. They're all solitary people who live their own lives. When humans despise them and wizards can't live near each other, what chance is there to be a friend?]
... It'd be nice.
[If people thought that.
If it was true.
If he had any confidence in his ability to be a friend.]
