"Shioriiii~n, Shiori Novella here, at your service."
It was the debut of the new Hololive EN branch, Advent. You watch along with great interest and find yourself attracted to the girl before you. Shiori Novella, how interesting. You're not sure that you'll watch her much too often in the future, but if she plays games you like, or does a stream with some of the other members you're interested in, you might check her out then. And so time passes.
"And it's been wonderful to archive you all. I've made so many great memories. But I need to go. Thank you very much. It's been Shiori Novella, and it's been a pleasure being at your service. One last time now. ShioriiiiiiI~n"
And just like that, Shiori graduated. You never watched her too often so it's sad, but it's not the end of the world.

It was the debut of the new Hololive EN branch, Advent. You watch along with great interest and find yourself attracted to the girl before you. Shiori Novella, how interesting. She reminds you of someone you knew before, but who? You decide to drop her a subscription. You'll keep an eye on this one, Shiori Novella. Her content is, well, interesting to say the least. She seems to interact well with her audience, organizing community polls all the time, being active in her prechat, and making sure there's a reasonable amount of content to consume. You choose to watch what interests you, never commenting or engaging, but that's okay. Shiori appreciates lurkers too. If a stream seems like it's not going to interest you, you'll skip it. But otherwise you're a fan, maybe? And so time passes.
[Announcement of Shiori Novella's Graduation]
It was a somber day when that white paper tweet dropped. You had been watching Shiori on and off, but made sure you made time to catch her graduation stream. It was the least you owed her, for all of the entertainment over the years.
"And it's been wonderful to archive you all. I've made so many great memories. But I need to go. Thank you very much. It's been Shiori Novella, and it's been a pleasure being at your service. One last time now. ShioriiiiiiI~n"
And just like that, Shiori graduated. If you had any regrets, it's that you didn't get involved more.

It was the debut of the new Hololive EN branch, Advent. You watch along with great interest and find yourself attracted to the girl before you. Shiori Novella, how interesting. Before her debut stream is over you find yourself dropping her a subscription and clicking the like button. Whatever she does next? You'll be there. After a few streams, you seem to have the urge to want to type in her live chat. You're not saying anything of much consequence, but in the next second. "What did you just say about that Anon?" she zeroes in on your comment immediately. You feel cold, and then warm, as she carries on and on, speaking about the topic you messaged her about. You feel like she's speaking directly to you. Just like that, you're hooked. Every stream thereafter you make sure to send messages every now and then, it's fun to participate. You write for her fanfiction prompts, you vote in Shiocracy polls. When she opens membership, it's not even a question, you're a Novelknight. Your world has been turned upside down by the appearance of this lovely goth princess. She means the world to you, and it would be a shame if anything happened to her.

You can't believe what you're reading. But, but why? You were sure that Shiori was having fun. You were having fun. It had been so long that you didn't even think of it as a possibility. But, you did swear your oath to her, as a Novelknight you must be there. To see your princess off into eternity.
"And it's been wonderful to archive you all. I've made so many great memories, Anon, thank you for your support.  But I need to go. Thank you very much. It's been Shiori Novella, and it's been a pleasure being at your service. One last time now. ShioriiiiiiI~n"
Shiori thanked you personally, she knew you were a fan of hers. You would take pride in your role as a Novelite, a Novelknight. It had been a good journey. But you were sad to see her go. You wish you had more time with her. You wish she didn't graduate. You wish...


"Shioriiii~n, Shiori Novella here, at your service."
Just hearing that, your heart skipped a beat. You could tell there was something special about this girl. Shiori Novella, huh. You subscribed and liked her debut stream. You took note of her schedule. You were going to follow her right from debut. You had no idea why, but she appealed to you. When it was time for her to receive monetization, you didn't hesitate to drop an akasupa. You could afford it. You did your steppies, you read books, you ate well and slept well. Shiori's word was law. You hung out in prechat, living off her every word. You donated almost every stream. Shiori always warned you to look after yourself. You liked it when she showed concern for you. You would send messages in livechat which she would read. You would constantly communicate with her. You commented on all of her videos, on all of her twitter posts. You wrote fanfiction of her, learned how to draw better to draw art. Edited videos and clips. You were sure you were her #1 fan. When membership turned on. You were one of the first Novelknights. Alongside donating, you gifted memberships to others less fortunate. All must know of how wonderful Shiori is. Shiori was your world. It would be no exaggeration to say that if she told you to kill, you would. Everytime she hearted one of your comments, your heart skipped a beat and filled with glee. Knowing that she loved you. She loved you. She loved you. She spared no expense in spoiling you. She loved you. She loved you. You were happy in this world. This world where Shiori was. She loved you. She loved you. And nothing could ever change that. She loved you. She loved you.
[Announcement of Shiori Novella's Graduation]
She loved you. She loved you. So why did she do this? She loved you. So why? She loved you. No. She must not love you. If she loved you she wouldn't graduate. Why would she graduate? You can't even bare to watch, you can't even bare to live another day. You won't live in a world where Shiori has disappeared. You had drained your bank account and were in debt anyhow. It would be better off if you just died. And so, that's what you did. You ended your life.


You awoke to find yourself in a darkened room. You couldn't move so you remained staring at the ceiling. You heard the sound of someone, crying? "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't fix you." a girl's voice says between sobs. You use all your strength and willpower to move your neck, and find that you can look over to see who it is. Next to you, holding your hand. It's Shiori. Shiori Novella. You can't remember why she what she meant to you exactly, but you do know she was a precious existence. Shiori notices you're conscious and dries her tears. "I've led you down an unforgiveable path. I was so sure that I could fix you. I could make you happier." Shiori's tone was nothing like that which you were sure you remembered. But where did you remember it? "I tried. All of my wonderful Novelites that I archived. I wanted to make them happy, one by one. To lead them to their happiest lives. But you, I've failed you. That last end, that was miserable. I caused that." Shiori buried her head in her hands and started crying again. It was hard to understand what she was trying to say, but you think you understood the basic idea. She was trying to make you happy. You thought about it a while. About Shiori. From the way her voice, her appearance, her very being made your heart float, you were sure she had done just that, and yet, here she was saying she was the very reason for your misfortune. "I'll never be able to atone for the horrible mistakes I've made. I thought I could make you happier Anon. But maybe I should have just let you pass me by." Then, as if suddenly hit by an epiphany, Shiori looked up, looked toward you. "I'm the problem. Your reliance on me only deepened, your dependence grew out of control. I'm sorry. I need to remove myself from your fate." Shiori let go of your hand and reached into her jacket. She pulled out a glowing bookmark. "With this, everything will go back to the way it was before you met me. Please, Anon. Find your own happiness." Shiori placed the bookmark over your eyes, on your forehead. Everything started to go white. You knew that you were going to forget her. You knew that she was going to disappear. Struggling to clear your throat, to say anything to her at all, your raspy voice managed to get two words to Shiori before you were dropped into the blackness.
"Thank you"

Today was the day of the new debuts of Hololive EN3, Advent. You weren't really sure who you would watch, or why you would. But you decided to take a chance on it anyway. Everyone was excited, and you were swept up in that festive mood too. The first day of debuts didn't particularly interest you much. But, the second day. Once you heard her voice, you knew she was the one.
"Hiya darlings~ This is Hololive English Advent's Devilish Diva, the one and only Nerissa Ravencroft."
