#given that kaido does things like that too and they're both saiki's closest friends... you can tell what the three of them have in common

[thousand-winters]

I don't talk much about him, but honestly? Nendo is everything that's right in the world.

So many people dislike him over something as stupid as his appearance, to the point it's been like three times so far that I remember? That people have started rumors about Saiki and him having "more than a friendship" because they're "weirdly close". And that feels like it comes in part from people being so intensely avoidant of even spending time with Nendo.

But he's so so kind too. His only requisite to spend time with people is that they're cool about it even if they have insulted him before. Hell, they can insult him while hanging out and Nendo is super chill about it. Hard to say how much about it is him not caring and how much of it is him just not paying attention or processing it, but even so.

He's also quick to put himself in harm's way if it's to help someone else.

The way he didn't want to be Saiko's lackey at all but he accepted his offer simply because a kid was drowning nearby and he wanted the money suitcase to throw it so the kid could grab it and not sink while Nendo reached him? How he jumped in front of the truck about to hit the kid in the timeloop?

He just... doesn't hesitate. He's such a kind person.
