>>108397868If there's a 3rd character, that's a friend group
Reggie isn't a loner who Shane started hanging out with because, although she's weird, she's interesting, creative, and smart--qualities that unfortunately nobody else sees
It means that he's not necessarily a goodhearted person who helped out a classmate who needed it
maybe I'm just reading into this, but the dynamic seemed pretty present in the pilot considering Shane and the school antagonist used to be friends unless he started hanging with Reggie
Basically the idea is that Reggie is a savant and Shane's the only one who sees it--making that relationship special
Furthermore, Shane is a normie who distances himself from normiedom to hang out with Reggie--making that relationship special on the other end as well
