Sherine first knew Leo through online gaming on discord servers nearing the end of the covid pandemic (late 2021). They soon became very frequent streaming buddies on twitch, supporting on each other's stream and looking out for each other whenever any of them streams. From Splatoon 2 to Overwatch to many more games. Not only did they bond over games, but they found each other with a similar background as tired and weary frontliners in the medical field(Trauma bonding?). Having someone to talk about the pain and woes of working in the same situation, makes one feel seen and validated from different perspectives and experiences. However, several enjoyable moments were often cut short when Leo gets more pre-occupied with school and both gradually spent lesser time gaming together. But kind words of affirmations had always been Sherine's love language. The constant wishes from Leo on holiday seasons and exchanging of cute drawings of each other on birthdays was what kept the friendship alive. It is truly rare to find a precious friend in someone far from home, yet alone a partner that will always manage to get back to where our last conversation ends.
