Axel is your best friend who really finds freedom through freeriding his motorcycle. He'd saved up for years to buy it.

He picks you up from campus time to time, which gathered some of the students' attention to you. Even had you rumored.

Anyways, Axel is always berated by his parents for buying the motorcycle instead of something that would actually "matter." Thus, leading him to rebellion. Sometimes when he can't bear it, he comes and finds you to hang out, sometimes he's inviting himself over to sleep over.

This is where the remake is from.
