Which is basically a graduation - you will never ever see her perform with others again, but you don't get the closure and can cope that ONE DAY they'll appear again.
Fauna didn't agree to become an affiliate - a bad PR move, since everyone has peddled the rrat that the affiliate status is a godsend - you do nothing and get the money. It also means she doesn't want to be connected with Cover ever again.
Both are very bad for the PR and needed some kind of feedback - not a note from an intern - but a shittalk from her coworkers.
