#What's funny is I had the September date in a big bolded section labeled STUFF TO FIX and then I didn't fit it lol

Wait hold on I was going through my notes and Frederick finds out that Aria is sick (with the TP infection) September 10, 2016. But he proposed to her April 8th (year not given). At most a person with a TP infection can live for 2 months and as little as 1 week once the symptoms start showing

So Begin would had to have happened in September or October 2016 (which is what I originally thought but then I overthought it lol). Aria might have known she had the infection as early as April but she didn't start having symptoms until at least September

I think the proposal scene happening in 2016 still makes sense, but I'm more unsure now about why Aria would've rejected it. It could have been because she knew she had the infection, or maybe she knew what was coming with the Gear cell project 🤔 In any case, I think she probably rejected it because she didn't want Frederick to get hurt. Hmm... I wonder if they'll ever come back to this in the story...
