valerie would definitely get it, to some extent - she is kind of talkative, comparatively, but she's also an introvert herself, so she needs plenty of space and time to herself and time to just veg? so i can see it being occasionally awkward or weird at first for sure, and she might have been like "idk, does this girl just hate me?" but by now they'd definitely be used to each other! and she has a lot of love for 90s music, especially 90s female artists, so she'd have definitely tried to bond with franki over shared music interests some time last year for sure.
