I haven't seen you since we worked together on "Soukyu no Fafner EXODUS", but I didn't know that you were ill.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I can't hide my surprise at the news of Tamaki Nakanishi's passing.
I first met Tamaki in the anime "Yumelia. We were close in age and she was a good friend.
I can only remember her cheerful personality and cute smile.

It is even more painful than usual to see someone of the same generation pass away.

Thank you for everything, Tamaki.
