In the Spring of 2019, Katia decided to join an organization called Alpha Phi Omega. Sebastian had already joined the organization 6 months before. Through this organization, they were able to meet and create great friends. However, both were too shy to talk to each other and thought that talking to the other was too daunting. Even though they both knew of each, they didn't truly get to get close till a couple of years later.
Unfortunately, COVID forced people to be separated in order to slow the spread of the disease. To keep in touch with everyone in Katia and Sebastian's organization, APO decided to set up a way for everyone to be able to message, talk, or have group calls together through the platform called Discord. Eventually, Katia and Sebastian were staying up late playing games and chatting with friends till the early hours of the morning. Eventually, after many weeks of staying up later to talk with each other, Sebastian asked Katia to lunch. Then, after a handful of hangouts in person instead of online, Sebastian asked Katia on a date.
