Was Nick telling the truth when he said he had “no friends” before Judy?

I’d say speaking more from trust issues and insecurity and an unwillingness to let others in

You can’t say you don’t have friends beforehand when you knew someone who was willing to break you out of jail and take a dart for you

Sure it’s debatable if Finnick was ever more than hired help (though there’s, ya know, helping Judy find Nick near the end of the first movie) but Flash was definitely a legit friend
