💙 To every Commander who joined us at the 3rd Encounter, thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. I honestly don't know if words can express how grateful I am for everyone who made this weekend possible. We wouldn't have made it to a THIRD celebration without your support. And to the Commanders who have returned to support us time and time again through every Encounter, we are so incredibly thankful to have you with us. Seeing familiar faces return, catching up, sharing laughs, and making new memories together is something I'll never take for granted. A very special thank you to Taytori and her Shrimps for the yearbook and pyrrhix-z cake. I will cherish the book forever. It's more than just a collection of memories... It's a reminder of the wonderful time I've shared with all of you and the friendships we've built along the way and I tear up every time I see it. I wish I could have spent more time with every single Commander this weekend. There were so many conversations I wanted to have and so many people I wanted to thank. Please know that even if I didn't get the chance to say it in person, I'm so happy you were there. To our staff and everyone who put their time, effort, and heart into making this event happen, THANK YOU. Especially to those who traveled and flew in just to be part of this. The hours of preparation, the behind-the-scenes work, the little things that people might never notice, every piece and thought that went into this mattered. You helped turn an idea into something real, and I'm so grateful I got to work alongside such wonderful friends. To all our voice actors, thank you for sharing your incredible talent, energy, and precious weekend with our community. You didn't just bring these characters to life in the game. You brought so much joy to the people who love them. Every memory you made with the Commanders this weekend means more than you probably realize. Thank you for being so generous with your time and for making this celebration special. To all our artists, thank you for bringing your incredible art and sharing your creativity with us. It's wonderful seeing fans connect your work and take home something made with passion. Thank you for putting your talent out there, supporting one another, and making our Artist Alley such a special part of the Encounter. And to our cosplayers... I genuinely think you are some of the most brilliant people I know. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of skill, patience, and creativity it takes to create the gorgeous outfits you bring to life. But beyond your talent, it's your energy and brilliance that make these events so bright. You bring these characters into our world and make the entire space feel magical. I'm so lucky to know all of you, not just as cosplayers, but as friends. Especially those that love our events so much to come again and again. I wish I could find a way to properly express just how much every single one of you means to me. Whether you came as a guest, an artist, a cosplayer, a volunteer, or simply a Commander who wanted to spend the weekend with us, you were part of something that I'll hold close to my heart always. I don't know when or where we'll all ENCOUNTER again, but I know our paths will cross somewhere down the road. And even if this chapter looks a little different from here on out, please know that Pyrrhi and I aren't going anywhere. Thank you for making the 3rd Encounter more than just an event. Thank you for making it a place where so many wonderful memories are made. I want to give you all the biggest hug. With all my love, Nekopon #NIKKE3rdEncounter
