In 2014, this group of NYU freshmen did everything together. The four friends: Kata, Annais, Alex, and David, lived in two dorm rooms separated only by a wall. Their proximity to each other made friendship easy— until someone was accidentally outed at a group dinner. 

Seven years later, we spoke to some of the witnesses of that fateful night as they recounted their friendship and how the aftermath of that one awkward moment taught everyone something about themselves.
