>>11582595Nothing I can prove is connected to Coco, so just rrat fuel.
I remember seeing an Astel clip of him breaking down almost exactly 3 months before Coco announced her graduation. He didn't say specifically why he was sad, just that "we'd find out soon". It turned out that there was a project he wanted permission for but was denied. The timing lines up though.
Korone had that episode around that time too but later IIRC said it was something about her family when people started connecting it to Coco.
I also attribute this to Mori clamming up during the Meme Review. This is the weakest one since she was known as a bad collaber back then. Still, Mori was the first one to beg for a collab as soon as the ban was lifted and was sad that she couldn't for so long.
