“Yeah, I couldn't believe it. You know, I was in shock. Again, because so to me, obviously, I didn't know him for that long. But the three months I spent in Japan. She was to me like, she was the most outgoing person. She was the first person that made me feel comfortable in Japan, like more welcoming, you know? She just seemed like a great happy person, even in training, so outgoing.
"So, yeah, when I found out like the news. I was in disbelief, like the first person I called was Sumie Sakai, you know, because I know, Sumie was super close with her, and she's just close with all the Japanese people. Um, oh, yeah. hit me hard. Because I, you know, I was very fortunate that I got to spend three months without being in Tokyo Cyber Squad. So, it was hard. I, you know, and I was like, just like, no, she was like, only 23 years old.”
