I met Sayaka back in 2019 through her writing and to this day, I can genuinely and forever say that not only her writing but her sweet and kind personality really touched me in a way that i’ll never forget. she brought me so much warmth, love and comfort that I wish and hope that i could’ve returned to her in some sort of way. my heart hurt so much i wish i had gotten the chance to talk to her more, made more memories with her or got to properly say goodbye to her. i hope you are sleeping well my angel, and sincerely resting well in peace. i’ll never forget you.

There is truly so, so much that I can say and words will still not be enough to express how much I cherish you, Sayaka. You have been my best friend for the last four years in spite of physical distance between us, and I will forever be grateful that you came into my life. I want to say thank you for the past four, five years, and for so many more years of friendship. I promise to you that no matter what, we'll always be best friends. I will forever carry you with me until we can one day meet again. I love you so, so much. In the words of Kairi in Kingdom Hearts 2: "Thinking of you, wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky — one sky, one destiny." May you rest in eternal peace, my friend. I love you, forever and always.

I met Sayaka online around 5 years ago through a common interest that we shared. My first impression of her was that she was so nice to talk to and very easy to get along with. I will never forget her kind heart as well as her heartwarming smile and how nice she was to everyone she talked to. She was truly one in a million and I am blessed to have known her and to have called her my friend. Sending all my love to her family and friends, and to everyone else who knew her, in these tough times. Thank you for everything, Sayaka. I miss you and hope we are able to meet again.

Sayaka and I met online probably about 5 years ago. Despite both drifting away from our mutual interest, we both stayed in contact. We would have many conversations about our struggles and we would comfort each other and give advice. I will forever treasure the fact you felt comfortable showing your vulnerability with me Sayaka. I hope you felt comfort from me. I love you so much. My thoughts are with the Steed family and her close friends and loved ones. Please take care of yourselves. Hi Sayaka, I haven’t even started writing anything but I’m already in tears.. I wish you could see the impact you have on so many people. You can though right? You can feel how loved you are right? I hope you know how much I love you and how deeply I care for you. Not just me but so many others. I hope our love surrounds you in a comforting embrace. I hope you are floating on a fluffy cloud, our love cradling and wrapping you up at the most perfect comforting temperature. I hope you only feel love. I still can’t believe I’m writing this. I desperately wish we could have said goodbye properly or at least talked one last time. I feel so sad thinking that the last time we spoke was around one month ago. I wish we could have created more memories, had more conversations and that we could help each other towards finding happiness. I’m so endlessly sorry Sayaka. I know you appreciated me and our friendship but I really truly wish I could have done more for you. You are such a beautiful soul. Your passing will leave an empty space in the hearts of so many people. I really hope you can be in peace now. I hope you are feeling light once more. Maybe one day you will visit me? In dreams, or in spirit, or I will meet your reincarnated self and we can finally meet in person. I hope the next life, if you choose to live it, will be so much easier than the one we lived together. I love you forever Sayaka And just like you had asked: I will ALWAYS think well of you

I met Sayaka through her writing and we became friends. And she was my best friend. For two years we shared every thought that crossed our minds, shared every moment we could with one another. I was so sure despite everything we had gone through that we would meet one day, that our friendship would begin again. Because my soul felt connected to hers, there was never a day I did not think of her. She was a light in the world, a beautiful person with a beautiful heart and so much love to give. I wish more than anything to reverse time and make things different, to at least have been there for her. But as that’s not possible I will make it my job to keep her memory alive in any way I can. To let the world know what a beautiful person she was, and make sure they never forget. The impact she had on my life is immeasurable and I owe so much to her. May she rest in peace, finally reunited in heaven with all those she had lost. I love you Sayaka, forever.

Sayaka was such an amazing best friend and confidant. i would come to her with the silliest stories and problems but i always knew i could bare it all to her without the fear of being judged. Whenever i was feeling down, she always knew to send me pictures of Drake to cheer me up. Sayaka was such a wondersful storyteller. she has her way with words that would touch and move people. She may have sometimes doubted herself, but i hope she knows how much people continues to find comfort in her works. Sayaka will forever be remembered and cherished for what she was in this lifetime. A kind and sincere daughter. An amazing friend to all. A talented author. now Sayaka is in a place of no sorrow, weeping, or pain. Only fullness of peace and joy. I hope we all get to celebrate the life she has lived here on earth with fond memories. Rest easy, angel.

Sayaka was the best and most kindest person. The best person to have a heart to heart to, the best listening ear, the best shoulder to lean on. She helped me a great deal during my difficult stages, and had always been there when I needed her. She was intelligent, a great author, a hard and dedicated worker, and an amazing friend. I will always be in debt to her for everything she’s ever done for me. She was my mentor, sister, and at the very core, she was my best friend. I learnt so much through her, and I loved and appreciated every moment spent talking to her. Her passing is a huge loss to this world. She will be missed dearly, but she will always live on in my heart and memory. Thank you for everything, Sayaka. I wish we could have said goodbye properly… I love you, and I will love you always until the end of time. My thoughts and prayers for the Steed Family. May Sayaka rest in eternal peace.
