Go back

To kick off this entry i will declare a couple things, the missing girl will be called "E" and any interviewed people will be simply numbered.

Interview #1.

E and i used to hang out in my house since i was around 8 after my dad got me a genesis second hand, i lost my liking for it rather fast but E kept being a fan of the console and Sega in general, on her 13th i decided to gift her my old genesis and games. She already had gotten other consoles and games but the genesis always eluded her hands, she really loved it.

Last time i saw her was this big fight we had on her 15th birthday, she had gotten into the "Emo" subculture and at the time i only knew them from really bad sources stereotyping emos and wanted to cut her out of my life because of it, then i heard about her running away in the middle of the night, i hope she is okay somewhere.

End of interview.

Interview #2.

I met E through MySpace around... 2009? Point is we got along and started talking on Messenger, i remember she was always talking about Sonic in private, she had gotten called a poser once because of it and got way too embarassed about it. I remember i saved up money form my first job just to get her a thing for her Ge- J- ... Genesis? I think that was it, she had complained about not being able to get a Sonic CD copy and the little thingy you needed for it.

She looked so excited on her birthday when i gave it to her, i remember we went up into her room after the party was over to see if it really worked, i still wonder why she left after that.

End of interview.

Interview #3.

I knew E for almost 2 years? Me and [#2] were friends and i met E off her, i was a big videogames and E kept asking and being interested in the stuff, found out she had this HUGE sega collection, like really big and probably expensive as hell, i remember asking how she got this many and apparently her extended family was living on the US and they just kept sending her thing for her birthday, she even got me some rare items.

She used to have this amazing MySpace page, after a bit she moved to Facebook which ehhh, but that didn't affect our friendship much, sadly i couldn't go to her 19th birthday with [#2], she was unconsolable for weeks after E left.

End of interview.

These are as much as we were allowed to share from the interviews, i thank the people that told us their stories and i certainly hope she is doing well wherever she is.

HJ did note that all these do not point to E leaving on purpose though, at least not from the perspective of her friends at the time.

Again we hope E is alright but her reasons might have been not the best.
