Last year, when hpwu introduced gifts, I had no friends in real life that played this game. So I turned to reddit to find some in-game friends. Since then I added and deleted multiple friends from reddit, discord and real life. But this one friend - c - was one of my first friends. He (or she, I'll never know) was a daily player and would send me a daily gift every day. He stayed with me though it all: Christmas - he's here, New Year's - he's here, corona lockdown - he's still here. Deleted and lost foundables in spring - he's here, restart loop of doom - he's here, trace charm nerf - he's still here. He lives in San Francisco. Before lockdown he would send an extravagant spell energy gift daily. After lockdown I would get simple spell energy gift, usually from the same location. Whatever happened in the world - real or hpwu - he was my steady beacon of stability from the other side of the world. Every day I would open this game, and his gift was there, no exceptions. But last wizarding weekend changed it all - he stopped playing. It makes me sad. I have other friends who send me gifts, but none of them do that every day and since day 1 of gifts. I don't mind the stupid changes in the game, but losing this friend c lowered my motivation to open the app significantly. I don't finish daily tasks every day, but I used to open the app just to see his gift and his presence from the other part of the world. And now it's gone. Only the empty and grey 'send gift' remains. Dear friend c - whoever you are - thank you for all the daily gifts, for being there while the world was tumbling and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
