Zara and Arnold have known each other since their college days. And both were some of the brightest students in their college studying sociology and criminal science in Como in 2016.

During that time, Como was a city full of athletes, yet the people of Como has valued education a lot. The young people were always choosing higher education and their career paths on their own because of the same reason.

On the first day of college, all the students greeted each other, so as did Zara and Arnold. They introduced each other and bought a coffee together from the university canteen before participating in their induction seminar. Though it was a great first interaction, it didn't really make it to the next semester.

Zara's admirable passion for criminal science, and her leadership skills, and for being a best friend to everyone in the class made her a sweetheart to everyone else. She fought her way into becoming the person the university is aware of and quite dramatically the only person she couldn't get along with was Arnold. He was a bit hard to be friends with for long fore real.

By the time Arnold started his university, he has already lived in more than 7 cities

By the time Arnold started his university, he has already lived in more than 7 cities. Most of his friendships till then never lasted long for that reason. And Arnold was never proactive in making friends anyway. He has always been occupied with things that could help him advance in his career and make him money for his expenses.

His family immigrated to Spain a long time ago. They own one of the renowned travel agencies in the country. If not he wanted to pursue this course, he would have been living a life most of the people his age would envy.

Arnold and Zara lived across the street but never really got together in their first year of university. In fact, they were competing against each other in their course, and they consciously chose to ignore knowing each other for the whole year.

But during their last semester in the university, Zara compelled herself to work with Arnold on a University project. Though Arnold would have loved to work on it all by himself, he has no choice but to accept.

But, things changed once they started working together. They earned each other's respect for what they have accomplished in their university till that point. They have figured that they both wanted to be the best in the college. And they had fun competing.

Arnold and Zara didn't keep their communication limited to their assignment. They have taken the opportunity to know each other well. And one of those revelations was enough to make them feel like they could be friends. And that was being notorious fans of ''Sherlock Holmes'' fans growing up.

They both really wanted to push each other to become their best versions. That lead to their college room conversations become coffee shop meetings. They started inviting each other to their homes to work on the assignment. Both were happy to listen to each other and discuss, debate, contemplate each other's perspectives.

It helped them to come up with tasks for each other that would improve their potential to be a great detective. It definitely helped Zara gain more knowledge about the craft. They finished their education with great grades and landed themselves in the industry as scholars.

But the only thing that bothered Zara was, Arnold didn't ever try to continue their friendship and communication. He went back to his roots, applying for jobs, following his deepest desire to become the best detective Italy has ever produced.
