Relationships[]
Not much can be said for the Narrator's relationships, as he holds very little direct interaction with the cast. However, the witch and him appear to have a more banter-filled relationship in the moment the narrator is brought into the main stage.
The Witch[]
Their relationship isn’t developed on screen besides the one time they talk in the scene confronting the giant, and could potentially have interacted in the past given the nature of their tone that is mostly banter-filled.
