Not to mention it really doesn't make sense. Like a lot of people still remember their childhood friends. It's super unrealistic to forget someone you had such a close bond to for years and then you suddenly forgot them
Well if the author wants to establish obsession because of something that happened during their childhood author has to show us childhood.
And you would be fascinated about how much we actually get wrong about our own childhood cuz our brain is messed up.
Actually it's the "he thought he was a gurl that's why he doesn't remember the guy from childhood " trope TT
why do they always pull the “we actually met when we were children” trope out of the deepest part of their ass like HELLO??? these two were already doing fine being two random people with chemistry lmao not every pairing needs a childhood documentary and a destiny connection PLEASE
