>>108338300The trigger wasn't supposed to happen.
Shiori says on March 17th that she wanted to play Monster Hunter with Nerissa. Nerissa agreed, a day later Shiori releases her infamous schedule with a TBD Collab. However, what happens next is that Nerissa gets bronchitis, and cancels almost everything on that week.
With FWMC out in Canada and Nerissa cancelling, Shiori reorganized it into a homocollab. The rrat about Iofi roping Shiori isn't true, Shiori organized the collab, but it was supposed to be ShioRaven, not a homocollab. Nerissa would recover and would play MonHunt...but with Raora and Moona.
Would Shiori still be CGDCT if it wasn't for bad luck? Probably not, the sudden ramp up of homo interactions that week meant she had already made her choice, but it would have probably delayed it by at least one month.
