essentially they would have also been an ex-pat living in berlin for whatever personal reason, they would have met in 2013 and decided to move back to the states in 2014 (i was hoping they were a san diego native to account for jane wanting to move there) and they lived together for about a year or so. the relationship was pretty good in germany because they treated it like a sort of holiday and weren't living together, but once they were stateside and cohabiting they would have a lot of fights and run hot and cold. i imagine there was a lot of stupid bickering before and after they ended things, they probably fell into old patterns a couple of times but also immediately imploded - i don't expect them to get back together or turn romantic or anything now, though. by now i see them on decent, if semi-awkward terms but still end up verbally sparring over the dumbest and pettiest shit that no one else would even pretend to care about. i'm open to brainstorming or for things to go in a semi-different direction (why they broke up, how they are now, that sort of thing), if you wanted to hash things out.
