>gets it in her head that Rushia hates her initially because of dumb memes>manages to shake it off about a year later as one of the two (I forget whom) reaches out>the two of them start interacting, and rather frequently at that, something that even Mori was willing to share and be proud of>HoloDeath begins>Mori finally managed to overcome her senpai autism and made a friend all under her own power>starts to invest a lot into the HoloDeath idea, brainstorming music and costume ideas>Rushia happens>her new friend is gone>all of her emotional investment was for nothing>probable song was in the works, completely scrappedTo top it off, Mori's just an emotional person who gets easily swept up by her relationships. Rushia was a colossal dumbass, but Mori cared about her. 2022 was a monumentally busy year for Mori already, but it's no wonder it took her so much time to start collabing with JPs again when the last time she got invested crashed and burned so spectacularly, to say nothing of whatever feelings of guilt she could have had that she wasn't able to deliver on everything she was so enthusiastic about and set out to do through HoloDeath, how she might have felt getting Ollie involved, etc.
