Azem timeline confusion

[Rannie]

I like seeing Azem, Emet and Hythlodeaus as childhood friends... or if not something like middle school or high-school buddies. To me it seems odd not to see (though I'm probably going from my view of how long people live) that they're really close as friends and that it happened before them both being raised. Hythlodeaus even mentions that he is willing to do anything and everything to help both Azem and Emet out to finish their dreams. That it was his dream to make it happen and they'd all go back to the star together when hes helped them accomplish that.... kinda like a Sailor Moon friendship thing.

Edit: or even like maxing out your friendship with a specific character like in Persona.. (sorry picked up persona 5 royal during the psn sale and have been playing it as well since I played vanilla and heard they did well with the integration of the new character)
