goodbye hime

I didn't expect this to hit me as much as it did. /TW Pet Passing

Hime was the first fish I had the pleasure of caring for in over ten years. She was an absolute joy to have and would often swim back and forth to greet me every time I walked by her tank.

Unfortunately her heater stopped working during a power outage that lasted barely a couple of minutes and by the time I got home and realized this, stores were closed for the night.

By the time I got a new heater, it was too late. I lost her to temperature shock after days of her hanging on.

Last year was tough and Hime was genuinely one of the best things to happen to me during it.

The tank is empty without her.
