By "the same", you mean if Zahra dislikes back in Book 1, she still dislikes me in Book 3? If that's the case, then no. Every one of the Catalysts is at least Friends with my MC.

Look, there's no use trying to change each other's minds here. I like everyone too much and you dislike some of them. Everyone has his/her own perspective on a person. This is probably my last comment in this Blog post, so let me just tell you why I like these characters.

Overall Reason: I'm a person who hasn't had a lot of REAL friends back then. It's why I'm open to friendships with almost every NPC that has a relationship meter in video games.

Quinn, Sean & Grace: Nice people, nuff said.

Diego: Best Friend. Even though he's homosexual, he doesn't act like one stereotypically. Seriously, I thought he was straight back in Book 1. He acts like Captain Holt in the show Brooklyn 99.

Estela: We share the same birthmonth. Somewhat a tsundere when it comes to MC.

Jake: Quips and nicknames. Possibly a fan of Pokemon. My favorite among the Male LI's.

Raj: A chef. My best friend is a chef. My favorite Raj moment is when he shouted, "I KNOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO COOK WITH LOVE, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT THEY MEAN IT SO LITERALLY!"

Craig: His stupidity. I am someone who is treated as the stupid friend in the group and trust me, I have embraced my stupidity. It brings joy to my friends the same way Craig brings joy to me whenever he says something stupid.

Zahra: Honest with her negative well-being. She said that "People like Quinn should never be struck down while people like me coast by." I admire someone who is admits his/her flaws. Mine are my stupidity and vulnerability to friendships.

Michelle: We are somewhat similar. She ended up being alone because she pushed everyone who tried to reach out away from her life, prior to the events of the book. I ended up being alone in high school because people pushed me away. Both of us were eventually given a helping hand.

Aleister: I like characters that have some sort of a Redemption Arc.
