User blog comment:CROAgent/How did Ren and Nora meet?/@comment-6830001-20141112100145

This is an interesting speculation, though I just think Jaune was excusing himself to choose to give up the mission to see what was going on out there. But it's a nice idea.

Anyway, Nora and Ren must be childhood friends but the mystery of their meeting will stay a mystery for now...
