In a recent livestream, Hololive talent Kaela Knew opened up about her feelings regarding the impending graduation of fellow member Minato Aqua, which has been a topic of conversation within the community. As fans process this bittersweet news, Kaela’s insights reveal a deeper understanding of the emotional weight surrounding Aqua’s departure.
The Context of the Announcement
During her stream, Kaela recalled a previous discussion held at the end of July, where she expressed hope that August would bring better days. However, she admitted that she was aware of the announcement regarding Aqua’s graduation before it was made public. “I was like doubting it, but I cannot say anything,” she shared, hinting at the shared knowledge among members before official statements are released.
Kaela also reflected on the timing of Aqua’s graduation, which is set for August 28, just two days before her own birthday. This coincidence has left her with mixed feelings, as she grapples with the bittersweet nature of such an event occurring so close to a personal celebration. “I don’t know how to feel about that,” she said, showcasing the complexity of emotions that often accompany transitions in the VTuber community.
Despite her initial uncertainty, Kaela emphasized the importance of supporting Aqua during this time. She described Aqua as a “very, very good and kind person” whom she deeply respects. Kaela’s message is a reminder of the camaraderie that exists among Hololive members and the strong bonds they share. “Just wish her the best,” she urged her viewers, encouraging them to focus on the positive aspects of Aqua’s contributions to Hololive and the memories they have created together.
