I'm dropping my headcanon here;
Personally for me, I like to think of dante and Nichole's relationship as sibling-like-figures to each other,
Like dante is the chill older brother that hypes up nichole,
And nichole is the hyperfixaited geek who drags him into places that has her interests (like a science event, or museum)

Like the "guy best friend trope" but the healthy one yknow what I mean? Their energy contrasts alot and I'd like to see them as a duo!

Let's add gabriel to the mix and we have the oldest, middle, and youngest siblings trope
