## Relationships

#### Allies:

Fey Lowell/Crystal Force Obsidian: As the original two Crystal Force Rangers, Justice and Fey worked alone for over six months until the other Ranger's joined the team. As a result the two grew quite close to each other - Justice has stated that Fey was one of his first friends in the modern day. He has a great respect for Fey, and defends them multiple times when people attempt to complain about them to him. He greatly appreciates their help and advice, even if he doesn't follow all of it, and when he needs help, they are the first person he turns to. As the team grew larger, Justice and Fey still remained close with each other, with Justice going to Fey when he had concerns over how to lead the team now they were larger. Despite their rough demeanor, Fey is someone who Justice cherishes, to the point of calling them his best friend.

Hannah Johanssen/Crystal Force Sapphire: Justice and Hannah knew each other prior to becoming Rangers together, with her being rather quickly assigned as his math tutor when he started attending school. The two got along quickly, and would have both considered each other friends even before Hannah joined the team. Justice has a great respect for Hannah, and admires her greatly. He took her joining the team with a good nature, their established friendship helping her settle into the team. He trusts her greatly, to the point of naming her his second-in-command when he couldn't get to the battlefield, letting her lead in his stead. He likes her kind personality, and thinks her a fine friend indeed. The two butt heads on occasion, mainly over Jae-Min, which led to their friendship growing strained for some time, finding each other on opposite sides of an argument, but they managed to resolve things when Jae-Min joined the team, their friendship stronger than ever.

Alice Archer/Crystal Force Emerald: Justice and Alice first met after Alice found the Emerald Elemental Crystal, their first encounter being their induction into the team. The two were not overly close at first, with Alice being quite notably withdrawn from the team despite fighting alongside them without complaint, but Justice always considered Alice to be a trusted companion and ally. As Alice slowly opened up to the team, they found themself growing closer and bonding, to the point that the both of them would consider each other a friend. Justice admires Alice's intellect and wit, as well as their quick-thinking on the battlefield, Alice's actions from a distance having saved the lot of them quite a bit of trouble over time. He respects him and gives him his space, knowing that if he needs anything, be in companionship or help, Alice will know he can come to Justice for it.

Aurelia/Crystal Force Amethyst: Starting out as enemies, Justice fought Aurelia alongside the rest of his team. Unlike the rest of them, he started to have his suspicions about their willingness to be fighting them quite a while before Aurelia revealed it. Upon Aurelia getting caught up in one of their own spells gone wrong, designed to show the affected their worst memory, Justice saw their worst memory - the night that Cyrene burned, and their escape with their brother. This led to Justice knowing quite a bit about them, and they spoke once without the rest of the team knowing - which was the conversation that, to Justice, confirmed that they didn't want to be fighting. He was their greatest defender to the rest of the team when they defected, having already had his time to come to terms with it, and he helped in getting them settled and familar with things on earth. He is happy to fight alongside them as a Ranger, and would happily trust them to watch his back. He has stated multiple times since their redemption that he considers them to be a friend.

Jae-Min Moon/Crystal Force Moonstone: Justice first knew Jae-Min as Hannah's close friend, and was not overly familiar with it despite his own friendship with Hannah. As the Moonstone Ranger, prior to it joining the team and its identity revealed, he considered it to be a threat, to both civilians and to the team. Upon its identity being unintentionally revealed by Hannah, his opinion of Jae-Min dropped as he tied the Phantom Ranger's actions to Jae-Min, and he continued to think of it as a threat. However, as Jae-Min slowly started working with the team and asking for help, he forgave it for its actions just as he had with Aurelia, and he would now consider Jae-Min to be somebody he likes as the friend of a friend, if not his own friend yet.
