The fact that they aren't older makes it even more bold.

And take a look at the first minute of the DLC. Ellie thinks Riley was dead. She's kinda shocked and I don't know maybe I am just imagining that there is something more there.

 

Ellie: "I haven't seen you in I don't know how long..."
Riley: "45 days.. 46 technically."
Ellie: "All this time.. I thought you were dead."

 

Riley keeps count of the days even!

Come to think about it, didn't ND said that we could be more "playful" in this DLC than in the main campaing?
