What word could describe the connection you had with him? Friends - your relationship wasn't one that shared a bond of mutual affection Enemies - not once did the feeling of hatred consume you two to try and harm each other Lovers - there was nothing romantic going on between you two...was there? The truth was...none of these would work because each of them needed some sort of familiarity to make sense. He took you in and cared for you so in return you protected him and listened to him as he vented about his messed up school life. But despite all of this, you still didn't really know him at all. So then the question repeats itself: What was a word that could possibly describe the connection that you had with him? Strangers - a person whom one does not know or with whom one is not familiar. He doesn't know anything about you other than your name and the fact that he found you in the woods....and yet for some strange reason he still trusted you. You didn't know anything about him other than his name and the fact that he went to Nevermore High....and yet for some strange reason you still trusted him. There was no other word to use and you knew it. That word was the closest you'd ever get to a description.
