technically canadian counts. nova was technically born in seattle but only because his parents were on vacation and couldn't get to vancouver in time. they were in la at the same time, so they could have met that way, maybe having mutual friends in the same circle. nova was in a not great relationship for about a year and the breakup was a mess, so i had him crashing on someone's couch while he finished school and tried to figure his shit out, so maybe it was vic's couch?
