>we've known for a while
>it's hard to put into words because for me it's a second time a genmate is graduating
>it never gets easier
>I'm not crying (I did that yesterday)
>CLIPPERS I'M NOT CRYING! NO MORE CRYING!
>obviously it's really... sad... I don't know
>it's so difficult to talk about a genmate leaving because you've been through everything together, it goes beyond words
>but if it's what makes her happy then there isn't anything I can say or do
>I hope the saplings treasure the remaining time they have with her
>I hope that you guys are ok
>I will say though I do hope the speculation is kept to a minimum
>I know it's very easy to speculate because you don't have a lot of the answers you are going to get
>unfortunately that's just how it is - you will never get the answers you're looking for
>I think some of the other members have been talking about the similarities already: disagreements with the company, visions being different, things like that
>you can't ignore the fact that Hololive is changing - it's not the same as it was 2 years ago
>honestly I would hope that it's not the same as 2 years ago because change means growth
>change comes with a not so good side becasue change is not for everyone - change is scary and may bring some sad times
>but I would like to hope that in the end that change means growth and everything will be ok
>not to diminish anyone's feelings, it is sad obviously
>I would like to hope everything will be ok
>ngl everyone has gone through some disagreements - but I want you guys to know I'm still happy being here, I'm not going anywhere for a while
>I realize that this answer is probably not satisfying and I'm really sorry but I already get very awkward in situations like this
>we still have a month remaining so let's all treasure that time
>let's make it the best Christmas they've ever experienced and send them off with a smile
>"I hope the rest of Council is doing ok?" I hope so too - we will be ok... eventually
>anyway that's all I want to say on this subject for now
>Mumei is ok, I talked to her yesterday. Mumei is currently Mooming.
>Kronii is ok, I think (I'm not laughing because I think Kronii might not be ok it's just because whenever I ask her if she's ok she normally says no)
>IRyS is ok - I want to believe everything will be ok
>is Bae ok? *laughs* let's keep these to easily answerable questions please. Bae will be ok, Bae will manage.
>we'll go through this together like we always have, thank you guys for being here
