Sigh... I'll repost what the schizo put out the other day and just to point out Rye would be Bijou in EN3
So I went on a bit of a deep dig of Rye/RyeProject and...
I found a channel with reuploads of most of streams, including her last stream :
https://youtu.be/IotpaRVp9DI [Embed]
Throughout the entire stream she's trying not to cry, and keeps saying how it's so difficult to leave because she loves the community she's built up. She's also extremely self deprecating, and has a HIC-burp thing, the same as Ame.
Here's some pertinent timestamps -

> I am not retiring and I am not graduating. I am going on an indefinite hiatus.https://youtu.be/IotpaRVp9DI?t=716 [Embed]
> "Good luck in Hololive" the fuck? I'm not... no, not Hololive (genuine surprise, trying hard to not to break NDA).https://youtu.be/IotpaRVp9DI?t=1353 [Embed]
> The Hiatus is nothing negative, not leaving because of health or any bad reason at all.https://youtu.be/IotpaRVp9DI?t=2439 [Embed]
> She won't be using twitter, and will only be updating her community through her discord.https://youtu.be/IotpaRVp9DI?t=2653 [Embed]
> "I will do my best, with my personality and talent I hope that it can get me far." weird thing to say during an indefinite hiatus announcement.https://youtu.be/IotpaRVp9DI?t=2675 [Embed]
> Q: Any plans to join a corpo or not?> Asks people to refer to her "After School with Nox!" VOD, but she nuked all her twitch VODs shortly afterwards. Thankfully the same channel has a reupload of this stream as well, so let's divert for a bit and move to that one.This second referenced stream is a goldmine of info -

Gura's her favorite.

She applied to VShojo on a whim, got to stage 2 but didn't go forward. She was kinda glad she didn't get in, because dropping her community is a hard decision to make.

She also applied to Nijisanji in March. Didn't go anywhere. If Wave 7 is from the same audition, she obviously won't be a candidate.
She's been applying to everything, just for practise.

She even applied to MyHoloTV and got rejected lmao. Apparently her niche is not what they wanted. Also talks a lot about how her niche is super narrow.
> Conspicuously doesn't mention auditioning to Hololive here.https://youtu.be/pDjoUGx1XMM?t=7866 [Embed]
Was jealous of the HoloEN offcollab, seems to be a huge Gura fan.

Talks about the difficulty in leaving her community, and mentions that as the biggest con of going corpo for her.
Back to the goodbye stream -

> This is not a goodbye.https://youtu.be/IotpaRVp9DI?t=14837 [Embed]
> And y'know what, I dunno... Maybe my return might be sooner. You might just have to find me.So yeah, that last part just about confirms it. She's in fucking EN3, almost 95% chance. If I could find that member post, it would get up to 99%.
tl;dr + extra -
> RyeProject is highly likely to be in EN3.> Super wholesome vibes, but is also bratty/shitposty. Would fit right in to HoloEN with the SNOT circle.> Seems to hate coomerbait and shipping, and is mostly professional in her collabs. Is not averse to male collabs (as seen above).> She really, REALLY didn't want to leave her community if she could help it, and was willing to turn down at least a VShojo slot if she had gotten accepted. Implying that the reason she left must have been compelling enough (being in the same company as her oshi).> She's nuked every single one of her social media accounts, except her Discord (bit of a risk, but I assume she has filters in place, and she did say she wouldn't be very active even there, only updates). Pretty standard opsec advice for Holomem.
