The "friend" "housemate" and so tags are placeholder for you to set it up as you want, you don't need to use that, you can write whatever you want there and the whole ongoing action doesn't imply that they aren't your "whatever tag you set up there" daughter/cousin/mother/dragon empress or anything else.
About the scene on the plane thing, the whole PC crush happened after the first part was released the whole scenes just crashes when I got them into the new PC, I have no idea why, so I kinda had to re-make the scenes, and probably something was lost along the way, that's why at some point it jumps straight to another scene which was tied to something else, once I have time for that and seems fixed I'll get back to it to set it up how it was supposed to be before the PC crash and screwed up almost everything.
