Korone has also said a while back that she specifically asked management to reduce her projects because she's taking care of her mom. Sasuga Good Doog.
I really hope Haato is doing alright. I've been following Holo for about 4 years now, there's been a lot of graduations and breaks, but Haato's has hit me the hardest by far. She's such a warm presence and she really tries her best so it's hard not to root for her.
Come to think of it, this situation must be extra rough on Fubuki here. She's part of two separate generations, and both are short one active member for rather serious outside-context reasons.
Korone has a history of taking care of her mom and she's been in and out of medical care for years. Her absence was sudden but not surprising, and I really hope they still have more years together.
Much as I don't like to say it, the explanation for the timing of the REPO collab was necessary. The greater context around it made the "the clique gets together to have fun right after the one complaining about feeling isolated was carted off" anti narrative unpleasantly convincing and hard to argue against.
If I can have a Christmas wish, let Korone and Chama come back in good condition, good morale, and good welcomes.
A girl had a mental breakdown and what people see is drama and graduation, of all the thing that come with Hololive being popular, this sadden me the most.
I was my mom's care giver for a long time. It was taxing and required a lot of time and effort to keep her safe and healthy but ultimately worth every second to make sure she was okay. Sending Korone a lot of love and support.
"Guys, I have to apologize you. I'm spending your money not in my career as you expected, but to make my parents' house accessible (for handicapped people)" "I'm ready to say goodbye, but it won't be easy" (Dozens of times) "Sorry guys I'll spend the day with my mom today" Real things Korone actually said on her streams. Heaven bound.
Akai Haato is the first holo member I subscribed back then, Hololive still small at that time and Haachama not exist yet . Hope situation get better for her.
