I think this is the start of something heavy, yet beautiful. This feels more like a prologue to a teacher student romance drama and satisfies my inner degenerate. But it also feels like a parting epilogue. Very confusion, but canon in its own way I suppose.
However I must stress, its not strange or impossible to be together even if 10 years apart. It only depends on how you get your feelings across, how determined you are, how perfect you are for each other yada yada <insert legal clauses here>.
Either way thanks for the warning.
