Benji is noise. Older, louder, and permanently unimpressed, he once taught Kendi how to play chess—back when he still cared about pawns more than protein shakes. Now he’s all gym selfies and background commentary.
Benji represents distraction and contrast: what happens when potential is left unattended. He isn’t cruel or malicious—just careless. And in outgrowing him, Kendi takes her first quiet step into independence.
