“What did he do?”
“He accidentally made Graham move away from our island”
“……..you’re joking…..right?”
“…”
In Memory of
Graham, a smug hamster that loved reading and searching (a big nerd), you were gone too soon. You still had so much more to experience on the island of “Mushi”. You lived at the back of the island, on a elevated place, but not because you were seen as an outsider. You had your own very garden with beautiful orange flowers that went so well with the design of your house.
You might not had the best fashion style, but that is exactly what made you so unique. You spent your time in the museum, studying every species that were caught by your dear residents. When you didn’t have your nose in a book, you were outside strolling in the plaza square, chatting with some the other villagers.
You arrived on Mushi Island on 2020 and left abruptly on a uneventful day.
You were liked by many, but none of them appreciated you like I did snif snif. We were best friends. I gave you all types of gifts you could think of: clothes, furniture, insects, tools, food, etc. We shared so many memories together and I regret that you never saw the opening of my bakery on the right side of the island, next to the shops. You also missed countless of Christmases, Halloween parties and New Year Celebrations and most importantly, my birthdays.
We never did say goodbye. I couldn’t even help pack up your belongings. It’s not your fault. It was my stupid baby brother who was not old enough to understand english yet. But he just had to select the option “move away” and not let you stay. All of this could have been avoided if my sister never added him to the island. He is a parasite and ever since you left, it has become trashy with random objects laying all over the ground. Maybe some of it is because of me, but let’s just ignore that.
To you, Graham, the best villager one could ask for in Animal Crossing.
