Meet Kelly and Chrissie. Their paths crossed on the dating app, Her. They bonded over books, sci-fi, fantasy and their messages quickly turned into essays. This is how their love for strong women, Sailor Moon and the card game, We’re Not Really Strangers, became a proposal that symbolised all they love about each other.
In the quiet corners of a house party 14 years ago, fate played its hand as Kristy and Karthi found themselves engaged in a conversation that would shape the course of their lives.
