Dear Coco,
I’ve never really gotten the chance, but I want to talk about us, and the stuff I never told you ages ago. (Let me monologue for a sec.)
Right from your debut, you immediately shot past the rest of Gen 4 with your amazing talent. Both the hololive members and viewers were astounded by this amazing newcomer. From AsaCoco, to your pro Yakuza streams, and leading the charge in ARK. You commanded everyone’s attention and, both figuratively and literally, stood on a different stage to the rest of Gen 4.
On the other hand, I barely even qualified as a free item that just happened to come with you. Lots of people told me not to associate with and rely on you. I genuinely felt the disparity between us, and thought carefully about why I was even here. Even so, I decided that no matter how many numbers were foisted on me and how incredible you were, that I wouldn’t treat you any differently! No matter how wide the gap between us in talent was, I wanted to be equal to you, because we’re both Gen 4.
You never looked down on us no matter how far ahead you were, and that made you incredibly easy to talk to. When I first met you in real life, I remember thinking “Wait… She’s easy to talk to, we think the same way, and our personalities match.” Quite a while ago, when we were on the way home from eating out, I said “One of us probably looked out for the other on their deathbed in our previous life,” and you went “To hell with that, we both died together,” and silly as it was, I really felt that.
Now, I’m not being told to stay away from you anymore. I've even been asked "Kanatan! Look after kaichou for us!" by tatsunokos. That makes me happy. No matter how much I was told to not associate with you, no matter how big the gap between us is, and no matter how much of an amazing person you are, I never gave up and I can stand by your side as an equal gen-mate.
You’re a kind dragon that shares her happiness with others, and I think that’s why both we and the Tatsunokos love you. We’re going to have you let us share our happiness with you from here on out, too. By the way, use this Switch to play with the rest of us. If it’s Mario Kart, I ain’t gonna lose.
- From your Gen 4-mate and equal, Kanatan
