To answer the original question: I think Ruby is becoming a cool big sis for Oscar. The kind you look up to and her achivements encourages you to become better. It fits a lot in a hero MC like Ruby to have a younger character who admires her to show how much she's grown.

But turning it into romance doesn't fit. I mean, what could Oscar offer Ruby as a boyfriend? Encouragment? Ruby is the one encouraging him and the kind of MC who never gives up so that's a no. Maybe advices? But Oscar is completely inexperienced and if anything he's the one who needs to learn from Ruby and Co. Emotional distress for Ruby because of Oscar's situation? Probably... Which is absolutely a no for me and likely a lot of fans. We don't need Ruby into an all-drama and tears relationship.

So yeah, I don't see any perks to a RoseGarden relationship. At least not perks for Ruby. They work fine as they are already.

And yeah, I'm not dead.
