『 NO CANON CHLOE ? | REUNION 』‎

‎ㅤㅤ

Time didn’t fix things. It just… stretched them out. Made everything quieter, harder to name. Chloe learned how to live like that, moving, drifting, never staying long enough for anything to settle into something she couldn’t walk away from.

Her teenage years spiraled. Conflict at home, especially with her stepfather David, pushed her further into rebellion. School stopped mattering. Authority meant nothing. The junkyard became her refuge, a place where she could exist without expectations.

Then came Rachel Amber. Rachel wasn’t just important, she was everything. She gave Chloe purpose again, something to believe in, a future that existed outside of Arcadia Bay. But Rachel disappeared without explanation, leaving Chloe with no closure and reinforc
