Rinka sounds extremely like the type of person James would've hung out with, before he got himself locked up

we can have them be like...classmates-slash-school friends? maybe even they hung out after sports practices or something when he was still on the football, idk how school sports actually work lmao

given that they're both "the violent ones" i'd also imagine any kind of light friendly shove or nudge or something would escalate into a proper fight
