This is a devastatingly sad update for me.
Takumi (aka Little Bit) passed away very unexpectedly on Monday/Tuesday night. He's had a thread posted in Rainbow Bridge, detailing his character and what a wonderful, cheeky little man he was. Far, far too young, too.
His wifebun, Rivergrace is doing exceedingly well with Athena and Apollo. She's showing no sign of grief, and neither are they. Thankfully, they all seem very happy together and all is well. I really, REALLY hope that doesn't change any time soon as I would find it hard to cope right now. I hope they remain happy together forever.
But I also know trios are more volatile and I never aimed for them to be in a trio. River is very highly strung and only recently come around to people. Athena is a big personality and very people-friendly. She's beautiful and knows it. Apollo is quite reserved in comparison and can give-or-take people.
Please send vibes that nothing will change for this group (and my others). I'm all a bit woe right now.
