Oh Zhie, it does feel like everything stops, and at the same time it all just continues, seemingly heedless...
Kei was the first person I struck up a chat with when I discovered Discord, two days shy of a year ago. Pandë had told me that she's a fellow South African, and we were mutually delighted to discover our ranks swelled to two — and that we're actually in the same town at the tipity bit of Africa to boot! We shared a good few lekker local laughs after that, and some mutual encouragement. Some people you just feel comfortable and connected with right from the start, and that's what I experienced with Kei. I know life threw a lot at her in the short time I've known her, and I've been impressed — and inspired — by her warmth, her energy, and, well, her general Keiness. And if I'm feeling a big Kei-shaped hole after barely a year, I can't fathom how that feels for those for whom she's been a big part of their lives.
And, I'm so grateful for the vast treasure of fics she's given us to continue enjoying, and yes, I'll join you in believing that comments and kudos do get delivered beyond the Circles of the World...
