Luke: LUKE HAD SOME INSIGHT ABOUT OZ when talking to Souya! Mainly he figured out that yah, Oz kind of sucks at people and probably doesn't mean a lot of what he says. Even though Luke can't DESCRIBE IT in that much detail, he means 'doesn't mean it' in the sense of 'doesn't empathize' more than 'is lying or insincere'. So he translates it more as having trouble with connecting with people or caring about them. SOUYA SAW IT AS MUCH WORSE, but to Dawn it was just like... well even if he DOES have trouble with that, he still tries really hard! So in a way it actually increased Dawn's respect for him. Dawn doesn't want or expect anyone to automatically care for him, or Ruby in general really. What stands out to him is 'Oz is trying' and not 'Oz sucks at people'.

OTHERWISE nothin' really. Dawn isn't very close to him but regards him as important due to being ruby.

Elliot!: Has just slotted Oz in an uncomplicated position as his friend. And that's sort of all it is. IT'S A GOOD AND IMPORTANT THING but he has learned enough about his life that his confused Oz feelings have all faded away to into just 'yah i guess he's my bro whatevwhatev'. HE ISN'T LOOKING FORWARD TO EXPLAINING (AND LYING ABOUT...) HOW HE DIED THO so he is just like. hoping oz forgets to ask...

REVERSE.
