Rest in peace, Alicia.
I have no idea what happened and I am just sitting here with tears streaming down my face. One of my friends I met while teaching English in Osaka passed away. I didn't even know! She passed away a month ago tomorrow and I didn't even know! I still don't know what happened but something happened and she is no longer with us.
psyienna, you were a friend to me when I really needed one. You helped me out through some rough times when I was living in Japan and I always looked forward our meet ups. We'd go grab a coffee or a Godiva in Namba and just geek out about our love of visual kei music, kitties, memes, silly anime shows, goth clubs and fashion, and just... you were such a gentle soul. You were so shy and sweet and it was so amazing hearing about you finally coming out of your shell, learning how to play the guitar, going to lessons, following your favorite bands, cheering me on for mine, and sending each other cards every year. I sent out your card too late this year. I just... I'm sorry. I have no idea what happened to you and that is sort of tearing at me right now. All I can do is remember the good memories - especially our trip to Nagoya together for the Gackt show - and hope that you rest in peace, dear friend.
