Gura was a lot of things. Bright, cheerful, cute. But... and this was especially true the last two years or so... she was not Happy. She was not free to do her thing. She was very restrained. And, not to put too fine a point on it, she was trapped in what can be politely described as kind of a shit model. The rigging was Poor.

Saba? Saba's model is beautiful. The rigging is incredible. She is so expressive. It's absolutely delightful. And Saba herself?

Saba, to be blunt, is where she wants to be, doing what she wants to do. She is visibly and audibly freer and more genuine just in her debut stream than Gura ever was. She's Indie now. She can afford to be. Gura swam so Saba could fly.

Gawr Gura is dead. I will always love her, and a part of me will always hurt for that loss.

Sameko Saba rose from the ashes, and she's a purer vision. She's happier and healthier, and I hope she remains happy and healthy.

I have only had this fish cat for a day and if anything happened to her, et cetera.
