No, they haven’t lived together for 3 years.
Episode 8 was set on August 10th. Rei turns 26.
Rei left home three years ago, I’d guess it’s around August too, give or take, so let’s say in the summer. He was 22 almost 23. Around the same age when Kazuki lost Yuzuko.
When Kazuki first met Rei, this is how he looked. His hair was past his shoulders. Given that Rei has changed a lot as a person since he left, I think he had shorter hair before, and I doubt that it was long enough to put into a ponytail. To grow one’s hair out to that length, it’ll take at least 6 months.
So Rei left home in the summer 3 years ago + 6 months (2 seasons) of hair growth, Kazuki met him in the spring of the following year. Rei was 23 and Kazuki was 25.
Judging from Kazuki’s clothes, it’s not that warm yet. It supports the theory that they met in spring.
In present time, Miri has been with them for eight months. Let’s back track their time.
First year
Rei left home in summer
Second year
Kazuki and Rei met in spring
Met Miri on Christmas Eve
Third year
It marks 3 years around August since Rei left home
Kyu brought them together for jobs, not roommates. Not on purpose, at least. So when did they start living together?
From Rei’s words here, we know what he thought of Kazuki as a partner and a person, before they became roommates. They had worked on a number of assignments together before Kazuki “started cleaning”. Give or take, they probably had worked together for at least a month or two.
Judging from Kazuki’s clothes again, it wasn’t summer yet. So let’s work the timeline again:
Second year
Kazuki and Rei met in the spring
Worked together for around 2 months before Kazuki barged into Rei’s apartment and started cleaning
Met Miri on Christmas Eve
In conclusion, by the time Miri came into the picture, they'd been roommates for around 8 months. As of episode 8, they've lived together for 1.25 years.
Age 22 turning 23
Kazuki lost his family, the lowest point in life
Rei left his family, the lowest point in life
Age 25 turning 26
Kazuki met Rei and decided that he’ll care for him
Rei met Miri and decided that he’ll care for her
I just think it’s neat when they do this.

I don’t really get how Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi are friends?
Lu Guang keeps things very business and treats Cheng Xiaoshi like his co worker (which they are). However, what makes these two men continue to hang out with each other outside of work? What do they have in common?
Other than the obvious obligation to their superpowers, they don’t seem to have chemistry with one another.
Lu Guang calls Qiao Ling big sister and seems close to her. Same with Cheng Xiaoshi.
OMG I JUST NOTICED. During the Diver opening (the best Shippūden opening btw) when Naruto and Sasuke were recreating the upside down spider man kiss under water, SASUKE WAS GONNA CHIDORI NARUTO UNDER WATER. THAT SO RUDE WTF MAN
He covered everyone else’s face but Sasuke’s. This guy I SWEAR.
He’s not handling his absence well smh
I really really really want a 90s/2000s coming of age show like Boy Meets World or Malcolm in the Middle but canonically gay. Like I’m talking 90s cameras, graphics, sound equipment for the full effect. I’m talking full-on sexuality crisis for the main character in the same episode style as all the others, where there is a clear setup and story line and it becomes more of a background thing later on and just becomes so normal for the story and the characters that it’s like it was always there, but can be brought back into the forefront for other episode arcs. And then of course you can put in a romance arc… ;)
Sephiroth really does care for Cloud at all times, so as a result, maybe he is always in danger.
It must suck for Sephiroth knowing that Don Corneo got closer to sleeping with Cloud than he ever will.
I hope they do something silly for Star Wars. (They won't.)
I hope we see the destiny trio team up. (They won't.)
FINAL FANTASY XVI (2023) — Joshua & Clive Reunite
I don’t get the women who try to make very dark and serious subject matter cute and girly.
Oh when I mean women I mean Banana fish fans.
Advent children was a good movie but I still don’t think Cloud got truly over Aerith.
I feel like he got over her similar to getting over a breakup. I think he got better at coping with it. Similar to how getting triggered by small things that remind you of your ex, you just take the triggers as face-value as a coping mechanism.
For example, flowers and scenic landscapes remind him of Aerith, but they’re also just pretty and worth taking photos of.
In the credits, he printed out many photos of different landscapes. Someone said maybe it’s because he sees Aerith in those photos or he just took up photography as a new hobby as we all do :/
Regardless, I’m glad he’s happy but I got a feeling he’s still looking forward to going to promised land/heaven so he can be with Aerith.
