Razan believes he doesn’t have friends because he forces himself not to make any. He’s already lost to many people close to him including his family (whom he despises) and many others I’m not going to try to mention (the entire village).
If he makes friends and develops feelings for them, he’ll feel the same pain he did when all those other people close to him.
Razan is AFRAID THAT HE WILL BECOME EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT HE WONT BE ABLE TO PROTECT.
@RenzFlintrock is correct. Razan was gone almost the entire 5 years away from the guild figuring out personal problems.
Sure people can consider him a friend, but he won’t feel the same. His only friend is actually Rowena because she helped him.
Be warned, if you mess with Razan, he won’t hesitate to push you around. If you get in face or become to pushy in trying to get him to talk, he will use force to get you away from him.
Why do I see Annette pestering him? xD
