Been with? As in "been with" sexually?
It's fairly obvious that DL and Frenesi were lovers and friends.
But Takeshi?
What about his sexual encounter (as Brock Vond's decoy
and double) with DL (disguised as Frenesi)?

Now that I think about it, the quest is being directed through a
generation of losers by Takeshi and DL (losers at love, but winners of
the game).
