>>8916872> As you may have noticed in the title, I have an important announcement to make... Fubuki is smiling at the camera but... something seems off about her voice today, and the fans notice.
> Lately, I haven't been streaming as much, and I'm sorry for that. Her voice makes it sound like she is in pain, like something is stuck in her throat. Fubuki may be smiling but it doesn't seem genuine.
> A-and I know that the friends have been worried about me for a while... A tremble can be heard in her voice, she mutes the stream for a moment to recollect herself. 30 seconds go by... then a minute. After this long period of deafening silence, she finally speaks up again.
> But I'm fine. However...due... > ... > ...due to unforseen circumstances, I will be graduating from Hololive effective immediately. The text shows up sliding on the bottom of the screen, first in Japanese, and then in English. The fans start asking what is going on over and over again. Fubuki unmutes herself, one final time.
> And that's it! I'm sorry it had to be like this. I made many memories with my friends... and you... my fans... in the past 3 years of Hololive. > I was... I was happy. And I'm glad I got to share this happiness with you. > So... even if it's just for this brief moment... I'll be your waifu. > T-thank you, every one of you. Fubuki can barely hold in her tears, her mouth biting at her lip to hold it back.
> Goodbye, husband. The stream ends, and just like that, she was gone. The recommended shows her latest collabs, her having fun with her friends just last week. And now... it was over.

Matsuri starts streaming a couple hours later, a chatting stream. She explains that Fubuki will be in our hearts forever and that her impact in Hololive was unlike any other.
>She was always there for us, even in the darkest times... > And even though she may be gone now, she will never be forgotten... I'll make sure of that. > As her colleague, as her friend... as her fan... I loved her, just like all of you do. > And I'll let every single person know... just how amazing of a friend she was. The stream doesn't last long, Matsuri is clearly crying every 3 minutes, muting herself so the fans don't hear it, but they know. A couple of other Hololive members stream as well. Mio, Korone, Okayu, Marine do it first and take in most of the fallout. In the end, none of them ever explained the reason why she graduated, possibly due to a contract, or to respect Fubuki's wishes. The fans will never even get to know.
