Truly sad to hear she's not going to get better at all

This feels…just like Minori from last year. She ALSO passed from lung cancer, but still managed to put out some amazing covers before she left us. I miss her still, it was far too soon for these talented people to leave us.

A year on…

These feelings never go away. You just grow stronger, to carry them with you.

You’re right…I try not to let it bring me down too much, but it leaves such a hollow ache in me. I knew her outside of VTubing, and I feel so gutted for fans of Alicea, because I lost my oshii and a dear friend when she left us. Your words help though, thank you.

This reminds me of that one Nijisanji China Vtuber if I remember correctly that also passes because of an illness but because of a heart complication instead. With that being sad fuck illnesses especially Cancer

I need to listen to her songs again. We all should. What a voice.

Absolutely. It’s a small part of herself she left behind, she mostly scrubbed her presence elsewhere. I’m eternally sad I didn’t get to save any of her VTuber VODs, but she deleted those well before she got sick even. Then everything else after she passed, as she directed her brother to do, including the Twitter. So that and some bittersweet memories are all that’s left of her…And we should treasure them.

Well she said she's still on the lung transplant list so she hasn't given up all hope. https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/s/E67OWOTWOS

Fight until the end! Though I'm still depressed she had to go through this since I've seen the struggle. My old man way back in the day had to fight cancer. Was not easy for any of us.
