Benny is Dreams current boyfriend, and even still considers himself in a relationship with Kaoru despite not being able to see him often due to boundary restrictions. After being a test dummy of Dreams to see how the Brint Back Machine works, which he doesn't like to talk about the feeling of being brought back, he tries hard to keep himself mentally stable despite everything he had come to love was destroyed during the Great War. Dream is the only person he has left, and their relationship is complicated. Sitting with him while he shoots drugs, being a shoulder to cry on during hard nights, cleaning him up after a blackout night, it gets hard on your mind.
He has gotten decently close to the other islanders who stayed on the Island, Alice, Richie, Trey, Wolfgang, Douglas and Spike who now lives there. He tries hard to form real bonds with people, but he craves to have everything he worked for back. He still isn't the brightest crayon in the box, but he tries his best to be a reliable friend at least.
