i think it's #3, since at the beginning of the story estelle was 11 but she looked like a baby while emel looked like a full grown adult, so that's why we're all kinda iffy about the age gap the age gap is not that bad when you think about it (i think it was 9 years?) but it still makes me uncomfortable
well this is a quasi second life for estelle?
The age gap is 6-7 years I believe and she wasn’t properly taken care of before the story starts so she looked even younger than she was
Well for the age gap i have some theory:
1. Maybe Emel looks old but his age is still young (I have many friends that look like this)
2. Maybe because the magic or something that Estelle have make her grow more faster
3. Maybe Estelle age is older than her looks (I have many friends that look like this too)
