hello so I might have cried a little bit seeing Tango die. I wasn’t even this sad about Moomin and Sprite tbh--maybe it’s because I actually made him. idk. goodbye, Tango, little buddy. I’m glad you found your way home.

I got the notification that my best girl, Raven Shikibu Nova had passed. the very embodiment of “do your best, fuck the rest,” she lived a very storied life. from recovering from heartbreak after heartbreak and effectively being a single mother for most of her adulthood. see you on the other side, superstar.

What can I say except that yeah, I’m sad about being notified that my main dude Murasaki Haruki has kicked the bucket. they maxed out Athletics and so they had a few more days tacked onto their lifespan but eventually they had to rejoin their one and only in the afterlife. rest in peace, Haruki. San Myshuno shan’t be the same without you.

well, with that, we lay to rest our 2nd generation heiress, the one, the only: Musica Nova. she was so quirky. a little wacky. a lot silly. but most of all: she was trying her best. I hope that in the afterlife, the spice festival is as colourful as it was in the living world.

we lay to rest our legacy founder, the intrepid Jericho André Nova. he might not have known where he came from, but in the end he found where he belonged, in an unexpected little town by the sea. with a family that loved him more than he thought possible. thanks for kicking us off, Jericho. but we’ve got it from here.

there’s something to be said about crossing over the same time as your most loved one, in that they aren’t waiting for you long on the other side. rest in peace, Dayton Solar. thanks for being a port of call in a chaotic storm. and I know there’s someone else really important waiting for you in the afterlife, too.

oh man wtf why don’t I have any elder Sprite content? anyway I guess she died too bc there’s her headstone! well, rest in peace Sprite Nova. you were a cute little soot sprite.

Dayton: (sniffing) oh, Moo...at least you’re at rest now, baby.
