Riz/Relationships

Here are the different established relationships of Riz with the other characters, during the course of the publication of manga and anime.

Tem
Riz and Tem both went to the drama club together. Throughout time, the two began to form a friendship together. He becomes more relaxed and honest around Tem, wanting to show him "his true self". After Riz chooses to stop taking his strength-reducing pills, he accidentally gashes Tem's arm with his claws, who then ran away from him. After a quick chase into the lecture hall, he goes berserk, and brutally devours him alive.

Realizing what he's done Riz is brought to tears and later commits self harm by slashing his chest with his claws. Unable to cope with the guilt of killing his best friend, Riz instead convinces himself that Tem wanted to be eaten, and was even happy about it, stating that "The act was gentle, peaceful, and therefore consensual".

Legoshi
As members of the drama club, Riz and Legoshi carried a friendly yet distant relationship with each other.

Later, Legoshi is the one that found out that Riz killed Tem. He then confronts him where Riz rips the ceiling, but is interrupted by Pina. Legoshi and Riz end up fighting in a shower room where Legoshi gets his eye scar, and he opens up Riz's old wounds. Legoshi challenges Riz to a fight on New Year's Eve, to which Riz accepts. They meet, and with Legoshi training hard, he is able to smash in Riz's nose. Legoshi is slammed on the wall and ground for a bit. They have a heart-to-heart conversation about Tem in which Riz reveals that he believed Tem wanted to be eaten by him.

Louis shows up and Legoshi flees with him. Legoshi proceeds to eat Louis' foot upon his persistence, since he had run out of the strength he needed to defeat Riz. Legoshi returns to fight Riz, covered in Louis' blood, where they continue to battle. After punching Riz in the chest, Legoshi wishes him a happy new year. Louis shows up and Riz admits defeat after realizing that Louis and Legoshi have a true herbivore-carnivore relationship. Riz then gets put into custody and is arrested.

Pina
Pina interrupted Riz and Legoshi fighting in the halls and most likely saved Legoshi's life. He is later confronted in the bathroom by Riz where Riz sucks on his finger because they smelled like honey. This scared Pina greatly thinking that he would be killed. He is later kidnapped and his forearm is sliced open by Riz so make it seem as though he was killed for his fight with Legoshi. Pina escapes from this and calls the police who arrest Riz.

Pina has been visiting Riz in juvie twice a month to see his progress and to keep him updated. They both seem to have become friends.
