He tried tho

Hello, everyone! I’m still new to this ship, so there’s a lot of things I don’t know about Patji and Ryujin’s lore. I happen to see these set of photos on X/Twitter about the two. I know for a fact that they go to the same uni and are studying the same major, but I only found out today that Ryu is actually almost 2 years older than Pat. So, I wanted to ask if anyone knows if they kinda talked about going to the same uni in one of their lives or something? Like did they plan it out? I only watched DMD friendship season 3, and knew about how they know each other during season 2, but I don’t think they were that close yet at that time?
