"Let's say our goodbyes with a smile."
She made her final bow. The music stopped. The stage went dark. I managed to see Kaichou off with a smile on my face.
My friends and I went out for breakfast. I drove them home, then went home to clean up. I rewatched parts of the stream to post.
"Are you really not gonna be around from tomorrow?" (Towa)
Kaichou...I know you said to stay positive and not to cry, but I had to disobey that order, just for a bit.
I may not have tuned into every one of your streams, but I knew you were special. Time and time again, you pushed boundaries, smashed through borders, and rewrote the rules. You changed the vtuber game forever, and you will never be forgotten for it.
Kaichou told the other Holomems and all of her Tatsunoko to live strong, to never change, and to continue to shine. She would want to see her friends continue to flourish, and her fans to continue to support them.
Kaichou, it's lonely without you and your streams. We miss you so much. It hurts, like there's a gaping hole in our hearts that you left unplugged.
In time, we're gonna plug that hole up with many, many new fun and happy memories, so that you will never have to feel regret about your decision, and so that you can continue to shine bright wherever you go next!
Kaichou, we're going to be okay.
Thank you for everything, and congratulations on your graduation!
