"Ayu is my first Japanese friend"

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to start that journey with. We met in Thailand during a Monad meetup, and I still remember how warm and friendly she was from the very first moment. She has such a bright, cheerful personality — always smiling, always bringing good vibes to everyone around her. What stood out to me most was her incredible talent in art. Her drawing style is so unique and beautiful — it's soft, expressive, and full of life. I’ve seen several of her projects and I genuinely love them all. There’s something about the way she captures emotion and character that really speaks to me. Beyond her talent, what I admire most is her kindness. She’s thoughtful, easy to talk to, and just a joy to be around. I feel lucky to have met someone like her through Monad. I truly hope we get the chance to meet again soon — maybe at another meetup, or wherever our paths cross next. Until then, I’ll be cheering for all the amazing things she creates!
