Next chapter we are probably getting backstory on Brandish and Demaria's relationship, so predictions? Here are my mine.

A)They were both orphans and meet in an orphanage before they found themselves in the army.

B) They were both homeless street kids.

C) Demaria's family took in and kind of adopted Brandish, which would give Demaria more reason to be angry about Brandish seemingly "betrayal".
