For future reference: Kalen and Calla are 17, Brendan is 18, Devin is 21 and Wes is 22. Wes and Devin get described some by Brendan the next time they appear and Devin gets described even more by Calla in her next POV chapter because his appearance is relevant to her.
I'm trying to figure out a good way to allude to ages in chapter 2 without Devin having to come out and say them. He mentioned how long he and Wes had been living on sidea. They moved there right after dropping out of Multiversity, which was in Devin's first year and Wes's second (near the end of it, since the immediate motivating factor was Devin sucking at interviewing and getting assigned a profession he hated). So maybe there's a way that can come up somewhere in the chapter? I just feel like Devin would never just come out and say "we're this age" unless it was relevant to whatever was going on at the time. Calla and Brendan would probably both be more likely to do so, and also at least it's clear in their chapters that they're just finishing something like high school?
