Okay, for real this time, let's pay our respects regarding Kokonoe's departure.
It was a really unpleasant surprise and I'm actually *really* sad to see her go-- a fact that initially had me as disoriented as the act of finding out, because I didn't know that I'd already gotten attached, and while I may be the only one who reacted so viscerally to her 2 Weeks' Notice, I don't think I'm the only one affected by this.
I can only hope that she sees my post, and that this whole thing ends up like the end of Battle Tendency. I still have some hope, but she sounded really rather fed-up, and I wish I'd known that was the way she felt-- don't know how much I could have done, but I would hope that it'd be enough to let her know that her presence was appreciated. I was so busy thinking "I could get used to this, this chick's pretty cool" that I didn't take the time to let her know that's how I felt-- not directly enough for my taste, anyway.
"Eueueh"
