>>82654955Graduation, death, termination, quitting, leaving, moving, these things are all sad because it means the experience potential you had in your head no longer exists. You won't see Aqua at the next Holofes. You won't see Aqua in another Umisea collab. You won't see another Aqua Minecraft arc. You won't see Aqua become friends with a new member. You won't see Aqua release a new song. You won't see Aqua play the next From game. You won't see Aqua speedrun a game ever again. You won't see Aqua get a new outfit. You won't see Aqua join a tournament ever again. You won't see Aqua react to another Shuffle Medley or new gen debut. You won't see any new Aqua clips or memes. You won't see Aqua carry a newbie through a game. You won't see Aqua stalk someone in a game. You won't see Aqua get bullied in a collab for being an introvert. You won't see Aqua get self-conscious over her onion in a 3D stream. You won't see Aqua in a Halloween collab. You won't see Aqua in a Christmas karaoke relay. You won't see Aqua trying to speak English. You won't see Aqua in a Street Fighter tournament with Pekora, Korone and Shion. You won't see Botan leading Manjigumi in an FPS they've never played before. You won't see Aquarium 2. You won't see Aqua play herself in Idol Showdown. You won't see Aqua laughing at how Marine and Pekora are represented in Holocure. You won't see Aqua play Deltarune. You won't see Aqua get bullied by Sasaki again. You won't hear Aqua and Shion banter again. You won't see Aqua get jumpscared. You won't see Aqua cry. You won't see Aqua happy. You won't see Aqua thank you for being a fan.
If you thought any of that might've happened in the future, it's not. That's why it's so sad. It's like finding out part of your brain is a lie and now it needs to be rewritten, but you don't want to because you liked how it was before. But there's nothing you can do, you have to learn to accept this reality is not the one you believed it was - and that's quite painful. Your "memories" are wrong.
What's more, it looks extremely bad. Aqua's throwing away her legacy out of nowhere. This is the little quiet girl who'd stand up on stage in front of thousands of people and scream things like, "Hololive forever!" What happened?
