Lance is Judai's best friend in Camp! Lance is cool and fun to hang out with and a good friend who will look out for him and cares about him. A little grumpy, sure, but Judai never takes issue with grumpiness and tends to quickly sweep it under the rug and not pay attention to it anyway. Lance is also willing to learn Duel Monsters! Which matters a lot to Judai because that dumb children's card game is one of the most important things in his life.
Judai also really respects Lance; he's really strong and fights for what's important to him. But he also tends to feel a bit concerned for Lance, because he knows Lance has had a really hard life and isn't entirely happy and doesn't really allow himself to cut loose and have fun, and Judai considers having fun and being happy the key to life. And the concept of not wanting to have tons of friends and fun is something so foreign to Judai that it's ... hard for him to really wrap his head around and accept. So Judai wants to try his hardest to be able to make Lance as happy as possible, and
( ... )
Okay, Lance is very much a secret derp, but only with people he "trusts". And Judai's honesty was very refreshing to him because he's unused to it and it began to grow on him! He started feeling a need to trust him back, but everything is for the sake of the mission and he can't jeopardize that! However, Lance took a chance on it and he feels he made the right decision (even if he feels it'll backfire eventually. As most of his decisions tend to do).
Thing is, Judai is very hard for him to get used to at times because Lance has a humongous self-loathing complex. So at times, he just closes himself off because too many positive feelings how does I cope!! (also I haven't updated him. When I do... he... will be better. Probably). Still, he's definitely a lot more lax around Judai and lets himself be snarky and mean.
Pretty much things are the same! Except that it feels like Taiga has warmed up to him more, which in turn cements her even more as a friend in Judai's mind. She is fun to be around and he clicks with her! So Judai likes Taiga a lot. ... I feel like there should be more to say but Judai's pretty simple like that.
Not much is new, but yeah, Taiga has warmed up to Judai a bit more than she planned. HE IS STILL DUMB BUT HE'S A GOOD FRIEND. I think she'll always continue to accuse him of doing things he didn't do just to get a rise out of him, though.
Is there anything in particular you want to do in Camp with Judai or Lambda?

Lambda's impression of Rika has two sides to it: Rika as an integral part of who Bern is, but also Rika just as Rika.
Lambda loves Bernkastel - everything about Bernkastel - so of course that includes Rika. Especially since Rika, as a symbol of the past Bern wants to forget, is someone Bern herself could probably never love, that makes Lambda care about her even more. But still, Lambda doesn't love Rika in quite the same way as she loves Bern. Bern and Rika are pretty different, and one of the major differences is that unlike with Bern, Lambda is certainly not the only person in Rika's life. Bern and Lambda have this thing where they believe that as fellow survivors of hell, they are the only two in the universe who can truly understand each other, and they have a strong mutual need for each other. Sure, they show their affection for each other in the most twisted ways possible, but even that is sort of just another sign of them completely understanding and accepting each other's cruelty. Lambda is not the most important person in

Huh, interesting. It makes a lot of sense! ...So just how glad should camp be that it's Rika here instead of Bernkastel?
They haven't threaded much! Just a couple times. He's on her list of people she wants to poke, both because the recognizing her intrigued her (especially now) and because he really reminds her of Keiichi and this suggests that he'd be fun to be around. Right now, she mostly wants to jump him to see if he knows Lambda and what he knows about her other self.
Man, I need to figure out if Rika would recognize Bernkastel's name. I'd play it as no if the games hadn't had her reciting one of Frederica's poems. But I don't know if she wrote it or Frederica or how she'd get it if Frederica wrote it or why it's attributed to Frederica if she wrote it or what /digression
Does Lambda's thing for sweets mean anything significant?

... Probably pretty glad! Haha.
From what I've read about the VN version of Higurashi Rei, I think that Fredrica Bernkastel was an alias she came up with in Saikoroshi-hen when she was thinking about the distinction between her young self and her aged self who has traveled through the different worlds? I'm not sure whether you've already read it or not, but the whole scene can be read here. But I'm still in Tatarigoroshi-hen of the VNs so I'm just basing that on what I've heard and there is quite possibly a lot more to it.
As for Lambda's thing for sweets, she's just very often seen eating some kind of candy or popcorn, and in EP8 it is revealed that ... her insides are actually made out of cake and candy, though that was mostly used as a joke in a light-hearted scene rather than really being anything super significant. The theme of the magic she fights with is also based around multi-colored candies. So it's nothing incredibly meaningful or symbolic, just kind of a motif associated with her character.
