Ace and Friendship

Ace mentions having guy friends and a friend who owns a dog, but never mentions anyone by name.

Malleus refers to the prefect as Ace’s friend.

Ace does refer to the group of himself, the prefect, Jack, Ruggie and Deuce as Leona’s friends in Book 2, but he is being sarcastic at the time.

In Book 7 a dream-Ace refers to Deuce as his best friend using the same word that Deuce uses with the prefect, but Deuce rejects him. As this was not the real Ace it has not been counted.
