hello! he is the boy audree followed into the peace corps. they've been friends since he moved to town when he was 14, but they didn't really fall deeply in love until they went into the pc together. he kind of accidentally did her dirty by leaving without saying goodbye. he had a good reason because his mother was diagnosed with cancer and he had to return home right away. he did leave her a letter but it got lost before it reached her. so it's kind of a comedy of errors where she is convinced he abandoned her and he is convinced she ghosted him when he needed her the most. they are just reconnecting for the first time since then when he gets into the game.
