[@webboysurf] I think they could relate re wanting to see, visit, be other places than this town, and also because each of them has a dream/passion they wanna pursue (even when they’re so different). And if they got along well enough, Damon would be willing to act as the occasional ‘social awareness’ check for him.

If anyone's got alternate/additional suggestions or w/e, feel free to mention 'em. Also, hope I didn't somehow miss anyone.

That definitely sounds good to me. Nate definitely views Damon's passion as positive, and shares a kinship over that. Nate would probably pay back any "social awareness" work offered with both honest criticism regarding Damon's performances, helping him run lines, and providing academic support. Based on their aspirations, Damon seems like he might be the person Nate would value most in New Hope.
