Rix

Rick (also translated as Rix') is a character in the On the Way to a Smile novella "Case of Denzel".

More than a year after Midgar is destroyed, the survivors living in the rubble slowly leave to go to Edge, and only Rick and Denzel remain living in Midgar. When the two realize that they're out of money and can't afford to trade supplies for food with the Edge residents anymore, Rick suggests they move to Edge for free food. Denzel replies that they'll eat and catch rats "like real slum kids"; Rick tells Denzel that he used to live in the slums, and the rats are inedible due to the pollution from the plate where Denzel lived. Rick leaves for Edge afterwards.

Denzel tells Reeve Tuesti that Rick is still alive and living in Edge shortly after recounting this part of his story, but claims the two of them haven't spoken to each other in some time.
