Elio has quite a few people he would consider his best friends - people he would literally bend over backward for without hesitation should the situation call for it. Among them are:

🔵[Choi Taejin] - his ever-loyal-follower-turned-significant-other.

🟤[Ashe Solur] - his first-ever genuine friend known for his short stature and introversion that beguiles his godly jack-of-all-trades skill set: especially at his (then) age, which only improved significantly over time due to a plethora of external factors and his personal desire to support Elio in any way he could.

🟡[Andrew Faradohm] - Elio's occasional "partner-in-crime" well-known for being a 'happy-go-lucky golden-haired electromaster' and one of Unova's resident Top Rangers: touted by many to be the best in his field - even amongst those in the Martial Arts world.

Despite being part of Elio's inevitable "harem", all of them share a myriad of intimate experiences with Elio - individually, in pairs, or as a trio, often seeing the silver-haired prodigy at his lowest and, in their respective ways, helped him to become a much better version of his previous self.
