I think part of the reason I'm so enamored with AydenElio over other CPs is parasocailly speaking, the degrees of separation are far less.
Ayden went to college in my state, overlapping with one of Kid #2's best friends from high school. (He's older than her, in a completely different major and unless there was a EA/SA student org that they both belonged to I doubt they crossed paths)
But compared to other CPs that have no connection to even my continent it feels much much closer of a connection.
