>>99531598He never went away, I am essentially 100% certain of it. I think (heard) he didn't want to be known forever as being an avatarfaf. a wise call since now he would soon be repping a ded Holo.
it would appear from his discord pfp that he likes Kanade.
He did clearly get extremely lazy though much like Gura herself. Like fan like oshi, we should have fucking seen that writing on the wall that it means yes he is spectacular if he's here. Which is .. a big if. That or maybe he tried to push some of the responsibility for us onto others since I would imagine doing this nonstop for such a large and diverse population must be draining. but I would think, the events of the past few days lit a fire under his ass.
