At the end of the book Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness in men's hearts and the death of his the true, wise, friend called Piggy. But I don't think that they were friends. Piggy attached himself to Ralph right at the start of the book although it was quite apparent that Ralph found him to be an bit of an annoyance but was too polite to tell him to 'push off.' Ralph found Piggy's advice useful and he as always on hand to remind Ralph what he had been saying, when he had his petit mal fugues and lost track of what he had been talking about. Piggy certainly benefited from being around Ralph, as he knew that without Ralph's protection Jack would have picked on him all the time. Essentially I think that circumstances forced Ralph and Piggy into an alliance of mutual convenience but I doubt that there was any real genuine affection. If anything Ralph seemed initially to prefer Jack and Simon as potential friends.
