Friend

Friend's single documented appearance centers on a casual, comedic exchange about the vulnerabilities of online dating. When Psyche expresses concerns about whether his date will match her pictures or turn out to be authentic, Friend responds with direct, lighthearted advice—suggesting that if the person does not match expectations, the simplest recourse is to end the encounter immediately. The conversation between them flows with the ease of established friendship; there is no formal interviewing structure, just two people joking through the real anxieties that accompany modern dating. Friend's role is to normalize Psyche's concerns while keeping the tone light and irreverent.

Friend's presence in the archive is defined entirely by his relationship with Psyche. No other figures or co-guests are documented in their exchange. The dynamic suggests a long-standing friendship in which Friend feels comfortable offering blunt, practical counsel without hesitation.
