Rico and Kevin are close friends who commemorate their bond with tattoos as children: a "1" on Rico's left cheekbone and a "2" on Kevin's. Rico and Nathaniel's relationship is complex and full of contradictions. Rico sees Nathaniel as a valuable player, but distrusts him, viewing him as a potential threat. Cruelty and manipulation are a means of self-affirmation. Childhood abuse, constant pressure, and the need to prove his worth have led Rico to assert himself at the expense of others.

At first, Jean begged for mercy, but over time, he realized that this was not only futile but also harmful. A rebellious nature.
