Just to see how things could work out, here's the kind of timeline I imagine: Muro is born in 2009 and Konoko in 2013. They are split up by the Syndicate in 2016 when they're 7 and 3 years old. Konoko has the Daodan implanted in her in 2020 and Muro's is already in him by then. Muro starts working his way into the Syndicate and takes over by 2024 when he's 15. That might seem far-fetched, but there have been real-life leaders in their teens (Jeanne Darc, Souji Okita (Edit: Oh, Souji was in his 20s by the time he was leading men, oops...)) and they didn't even have superhuman powers. When the events of the game happen in 2032, that would make Muro 23 and Konoko 19.
This timeline seems to make most sense to me. This would put Muro at about 7, and Mai about 3. If you go to when their Daodan is implanted, Mai is 7 and Muro is 11.

Ashamed of myself? Griffin made me a monster when I was 07 years old and imprisoned the only man brave enough to try and protect me.

So the Syndicate raid on Hasegawa's Lab was when Mai was 3, and she got her Chrysalis at 7. Muro's age isn't stated but Konoko does write:
input>blam! love, little sister

...so we know there's an age difference.
Come on, guys, pick up the slack, I won't always be here to handle these questions
