Colin and Matt

Colin and Matt is a friendship seen in Carter Corp.

## Overview

Colin and Matt is a recurring friendship seen in most story routes which consists of Colin Spencer and Matt Ortega. Colin and Matt are both work friends and personal friends, the two can even be considered best friends sometimes due to them being on screen together more than most other friendships. The two have a very easy going relationship and sometimes even tease the player together.

Colin and Matt often eat lunch together in the break room or with the player at a food truck and sometimes vent about their problems showing that they're good listeners towards each other, and Matt goes to almost all of Colin's band Nightmareden's concerts and helps out with equipment and backstage assistance, he even went to Florida with him one time to help out with his concert. Matt is the reason why both Colin and Adam met their main characters due to him always bringing the main characters to their concerts with him.

Matt and Colin are very laid back with each other and almost never fight, and even indulge in occasional gossip with each other. Matt and Colin however, are fortunate enough to have never been love interests in the same story route though. Because if they were, they probably would have fought more than usual, as seen in Colin's route with his friend Adam Peterson, and there were times where Colin was jealous of Matt himself if he would flirt with the player in front of him or dance with her at Starlite. This could have been even worse if Matt was actually the second love interest in Colin's route or vice versa.

Colin was once said to be the guy that Matt liked the most and more than anyone else, as Colin is without a doubt his best guy friend, and best friend over all next to Lisa Parker, and the feeling is probably mutual. In his story route, Colin attended Matt's bachelor party and they both pretended to kiss each other and sent a picture of it to the player. This shows that the two have a silly since of humor with each other and love to joke around, which is apparent if you see the two interact. Colin also attended Matt's wedding and was his best man, over Daryl Ortega, Matt's twin brother.

Colin is one of the few people that knows about and understands the relationship between Daryl and Matt, and is usually present when Daryl asks Matt for help, and shows his annoyance towards Daryl with or without Matt present. Colin sometimes seems like he often fills in for the spot of being Matt's brother so there isn't an empty void in Matt's life, since Daryl can't do it the right way.

Colin and Matt have a very strong bond and can be considered to have the ultimate "bromance" in the whole series, as their relationship is never toxic in comparison to others, Colin even seems to be closer to Matt than he is with his other good friends sometimes like Adam Peterson and Doris. They're always there for each other and care about one another. Matt and Colin even give the players relationship advice in the other's perspective story route, as they clearly want them to be happy and be in a happy relationship with a woman. Sometimes though, Matt will have to correct Colin's behavior if his rudeness goes too far which Colin is fine with, which shows that Colin respects Matt and his morals as his friend, because it's unlikely that he would let a person that he doesn't like get away with correcting his attitude.
