Their relationship in the past really be coming out of nowhere. Like was it not important enough to mention it like she mentioned all the previous connections in the beginning?
I may be wrong but I don’t remember her saying they had a close relationship in the past...did they?? Didn’t she say that they rarely got involved with each other or smth (tho I may be mixing up my stories)
Can we please get a time skip to when they're at least teenagers? Watching a 6 year old in an explicitly romantic situation with sexual undertones is skeeving me out.
