Wall framing question: stud spacing between openings

I'm framing up a non-load-bearing wall that has two closet doors on it, close together (the king studs for the two openings are 13" apart). Unfortunately, they are aligned such that one of the 16" OC common studs would fall within that gap. In fact, it would only be 1/2" away from the left king stud, so not even anywhere near...

For a non load bearing wall, the biggest consideration is going to be hanging drywall which is why you'll see either 16" or 24" OC (to align with a 48" wide sheet). Since the wall isn't meant to hold any weight above it, there's a little more flexibility in where you place your studs, so you're probably fine without that extra stud.

That being said, check your local building code, there might be a regulation for that.

IIRC studies have shown that overall output is highest for many jobs at about a 4 day workweek. By the 5th day people tend to just fuck around more while on the clock
