this is what i get for just skimming, oops!! eri is absolutely the best teacher for embracing aev'ik flamboyance ("do you think you would maybe have more fun with, like!! unicorn hair!!"), so please, sign her up. she's also literally always chatting up strangers, so we could easily say that they met somewhere cute but mundane like running into each other at a coffee joint and eri immediately went into best friend mode and the rest is history?
