	* '''Blur and Mike:''' ~~They begin the flashback as total strangers~~. To Mike~~, Blur~~ is ~~just an~~ unconscious ~~wild~~ bird ~~he carries through~~ the rain.<ref name=":c19p4" /> ~~Everything turns on Mike's offer~~ once the amnesia ~~comes~~ to light: "You don't ever have to feel like you don't have a place to belong."<ref name=":c19p6" /> Blur ~~goes to live with him~~, ~~and two years on~~ he's settled enough to say he's happy with what he has~~, missing memories and all~~.<ref name=":c19p8" />		* '''Blur and Mike:''' Their whole owner-and-pet bond rests on one act of kindness. Mike is the one who carried the unconscious bird out of the rain,<ref name=":c19p4" /> and once the amnesia came to light, the one who promised him a home: "You don't ever have to feel like you don't have a place to belong."<ref name=":c19p6" /> Two years on, Blur would still like his memories back, but he's settled enough with Mike to say he's happy with what he has.<ref name=":c19p8" />
	* '''Lily and Lucy:''' Lily ~~arrives as a complete stranger passing through town, and her "pit stop"~~ at Lucy's quietly ~~becomes an open-ended stay~~.<ref name=":c19p6" /> By her own account she considered moving on, but stayed because Mike and Lucy are "a walking teenage melodrama" and endlessly entertaining.<ref name=":c19p8" />		* '''Lily and Lucy:''' Lily's stay at Lucy's was only ever supposed to be a brief rest stop, and it quietly became permanent instead.<ref name=":c19p6" /> By her own account she considered moving on, but stayed because Mike and Lucy are "a walking teenage melodrama" and endlessly entertaining.<ref name=":c19p8" />
	* '''Blur and Yashy:''' ~~Their first proper meeting involves a controller thrown at his head and~~ a name he ~~never asked for.~~<ref name=":c19p7" /> ~~Two~~ years later the two are card partners, and ~~Yashy is~~ the ~~one who jumps~~ to ~~his defense when~~ Lily ~~teases~~ him.<ref name=":c19p1" />		* '''Blur and Yashy:''' Yashy's brand of affection is rough treatment with loyalty underneath. She's the one who saddled Blur with a name he furiously rejected,<ref name=":c19p7" /> yet two years later the two are card partners, and she's the first to snap at Lily for teasing him.<ref name=":c19p1" />
