Well, let's see. By the time Alfie and Nina became friends, Jerome proved to be an untrustworthy bully (in season 1). He was even getting sick of Jerome and he said so, and maybe he didn't quite want to hang out with Nina but he did want to feel included and Jerome had not only abandoned him for Mara, but also started blackmailing him. It was an unhealthy relationship. Patricia in season 2, well, she and Nina had a lot of development and Patrina became THE greatest friendship on the show and I dare you to say I'm wrong. And I think Patricia hung out with Joy a lot more, but that didn't mean she still wasn't friends with Nina by that point. Oh, Nina is certainly boring, but after everything that happened to the Sibuna gang, they all became friends. I do believe Nina would have been friends with them anyways, the mystery just helped speed things along. She and Amber were still friends before the mystery, same with her and Fabian. If the mystery never even happened she and Patricia would never have been enemies and could have been friends much earlier.

Bullshit on the no time thing. They should have MADE time. It's not pointless, it's the relationship between two characters. They promised us closure, we should have received it, god damn it. If you don't have time to tie up a subplot like that, then do some rewrites! Or at least make it  a deleted scene.

Blah, Joytricia is dead because friendship is an illusion. Seriously though, Joy could have seriously helped her. And Patricia should have said something! Like, "Oh, sorry, Joy. Tell me all about your relationship with Fabian again?" and then she should have left like a boss. Or even better, just look her in the eye and say, "Fabian." IDK, the thing I hate is that Patricia has actual problems in the show but they just gloss over it, use them for drama, or for comedy. They never actually help her. The one time anyone tried to help her was with Alfie, and she ended up helping him more anyways. Now, I understand if Patricia is too prideful to ask for anyone's help. But that's why they need to go after her like she does for Joy. Whatever. It was an awful storyline.

Classified spoiler because I really want to tell you: After Feddie start fighting because of the whole Nina situation, Patricia gets sick of it and is like "I'm appointing myself the new leader because you two are being idiots. Don't give me your objections because I don't care what you have to say. Come with me, and let's do Sibuna stuff. You two can just stay here and argue because that's all you're good for anymore and I don't want you guys to cause drama while we're on a mission. Got it?"
