@ItsPikaxe Hey! So, Ethienne and Taylor have actually known each other for about 11 years, but they only really got close starting in 2019-2020ish. The story of how their friendship kicked off will be in the next few chapters. And actually, Ethienne is just 24. Pretty young to have achieved all she has, but that's a big part of the plot and it'll all make sense soon. Thanks for getting in touch, and hope you're enjoying the story!
