In this file, I will talk about my friendship with Mulberry, how we met, the things we did for the game and the end of an era

I first dmed her in july 2020 asking if she ever made a reference for an ayano hairstyle
I'm pretty sure I didn't like her back then, and for a long time after I didn't either, I made multiple traceberry jokes

By january 2021 I stopped hating her and was somewhat neutral about her
In march I modelled something she had drawn (which ended up being reused for Ryoba's town outfit)
In april I modelled something else she had drawn, Shiromi, which ended up being added
None of these were requested by her or dev

On the 16th of may 2021, dev contacted me asking me to work with her on updating around 20 students hairstyles, which I accepted and dmed her
From then, I got closer to her and we quickly became friends, actual friends not just working together
Those assets were finished on the 15th of june and added the day after, I think
On the 19th I dmed her asking her to delete a message that was posting a leak of one of my assets which she did and helped me feel a bit better
That same day, dev asked me to model Ryoba and some other things, I chose to dm Mulberry about Ryoba and we happily started
Her model was finished on the 25th and her texture was finished the day after

On the 19th of July, Nitropunk banned me after I complained about them posting incest porn in the fan-creations chat
I dmed Mulberry, she quickly unbanned me and reassured me Nitro was the one who went too far

I decided to remodel the old ayano I talked about earlier on the 7th of august
We started working on her together, her guiding me to make it close to Ryoba and all that, her texture was finished on the 9th

We chose to send her to dev since we both liked it so much, hopeful he'd accept it

On the 10th, dev confronted me with screenshots of me saying "traceberry" over a year before
Mulberry understood my POV and knew I considered her a real friend now, so nothing changed from it

From then on we actually got closer, I think she became one of my best friends/one of the nicest people I ever met in that community
We talked basically everyday about anything and everything

We worked on a few things together after that, not all for the game
On the 4th of september, dev asked me to remodel the rainbow students featured in 1980s mode
During this time I remade the texture for Ryoba which was finished on the 21st, the rainbow students were finished on the 24th
Dev complained about them and me edit them so they were re-finished on the 25th
1980s mode came out shortly after without Ayano's hair like we had planned

Dev asked me to remodel Himedere's hair on the 14th of october, she was finished on the 17th
Since the model was so similar to the Basu sisters, we worked on those, they were finished on the 29th of october
We reminded dev of Ayano, he made me edit the texture to be like a replica of the Asset store textures, making us quite sad 
The plan was to have the basu sisters released for halloween and possibly ayano aswell, to have a "asset store hairs replacement update"

Dev ended up adding ayano's model to the files.. but not ingame
A modder found it and ran to me saying dev had leaked one of my hairs, I did my best to just tell them to ignore it for now

At this point I don't remember when the Basu sisters were added, Ayano was added afer that
then we worked on Himari since dev added a low-quality remodel so that was added aswell

On the 22nd of november, berry asked me to work with her on the student council since she had redrawn them, we also discussed a model for Senpai
The council were finished on the 3rd of december, Senpai was started that day and finished on the 4th

We talked a lot still after that, and I modelled her christmas dress for Ayano on the 25th

After this, the Cameron situation started, she did everything she could to support me and reassure me, even saying dev was at fault not me

On the 4th of february, dev got her to ask me things he knew I'd tell her, but it felt like a puppet talking so I said I'd rather not respond
He then lied about in mod-chat to try to threaten the moderators into confessing 
After that, she sent me 1 happy reply to an unrelated message and nothing since

On the 11th, it was my birthday and I excitedly told her
No replies and nothing since

I'm guessing dev threatened her or something like that
