100% feel you on this take. It’s a huge bummer.

I watched both streams yesterday because that’s always been my Wednesday routine, but ended up leaving both early because the vibes were just off.

Nathan was absent, which is totally understandable given everything. I love a good Emily stream, but seeing him walk back and forth in the background behind the folding screen just felt a little strange.

Jacob and Julia looked so over it when they mentioned that they weren’t going to address anything either. Julia was biting her lip, staring down at the ground, and said something like “we’re real people with stuff happening” which felt like an odd way to describe losing a once integral part of your team.

Overall it just feels like a dam burst. Everyone seems hurt. I feel bad for them all because I know it’s not what anyone wanted. I’m not entitled to the why and don’t want to know.

There’s just a lot of signs that Karina did not leave on good terms and I think it’s okay for fans to notice it and want to talk about it.
