It's been quite a bit of time. Hard to believe he's gone. Taking over his accounts hasn't really helped entirely too much with the coping, but I'm now DaRealMrHippo, even though I am technically a fake. An imposter. I don't know if he'd be proud of me for practically anything I've done since he passed. I've been depressed since, haven't exactly gotten over it. Ever heard of OMORI? That's practically the situation I'm in, minus the four years of daydreaming. I miss him. I truly do. But I'm going to start trying to use this account, for Hippo.
I'm Alex, Hippo's friend. Technically the new Hippo, though nothing could replace him. I'm just inheriting his name.
