[quote=@Guardian Angel Haruki] [@Lewascan2] Oh! Just to check with you, how do you think Malcer and Ciel became friends? I was thinking maybe it would be a combo of meeting at school and online for the both of them. [/quote] Malcer's got three years on her, so the most likely time for them to have met was either in college or in high school. Either way, the age gap means they likely only knew each-other a year or so at most before Malcer would have to move on due to graduation, and they'd have had to stay in contact online past that. Malcer was probably hosting -or participating in- some form of tabletop RPG in either case that he might have invited her to try out if they hit it off, as it's the way he'd have found it easiest to connect to people back then.
