Relationships
Alix Kubdel

Alim Kubdel telling Alix to take good care of the watch.
Alim Kubdel loves his daughter, although finding it a bit odd how she doesn't act more formally in particular cases. He is patient with her when she doesn't initially show interest in the watch when he gives it to her, and he understands her loyalty to her friends.
Jalil Kubdel
While loving his son, Alim Kubdel sometimes gets exasperated with Jalil's quickness to jump to conclusions and his tendency towards reckless actions.
