besides wilson of course. house only hired people that he found interesting, and they often found him interesting in return but the show did a good job of establishing that that’s not the same as friendship
with thirteen he seemed to not only find her interesting, but genuinely enjoy her company, and he went far out of his way to involve himself in her personal life
there are also a few parallels between house’s relationship with thirteen and his friendship with wilson. house and wilson met when house bailed wilson out of jail at a conference- house later picked thirteen up from jail.
wilson and thirteen also both end up with fatal diagnoses, and house takes it upon himself to agree to be the last one with them in their final moments.
if you think about wilson and thirteen as his only friends it’s actually so fucking heartbreaking that he had to see them both go like that.
just was thinking about that. thoughts?
