The big thing was these two girls went on Rumshpringa around the same time and found that they were both queer, one a lesbian and one bi. So instead of getting baptized into the church, they left. But there was a long period where their parents believed they were coming home and they’d basically already decided not to.

So combine that with working in food service, which is already full of party people, especially back-of-house, and then both having crazy high tolerances for alcohol and a bunch of drugs, they were just regulars at these ragers. They showed up at some college parties and some music scene parties and we just kept crossing paths. They’d tend to party hop and after 2 am or so go back home and continue through the night. They invited me back a couple of times. I honestly don’t remember much, but they were good vibes for the most part. I’m pretty sure we all had our fair share of breaking down crying but idk
