I would stop from deleting Sonja's character from my Animal Crossing: Wild World save file. I decided to do it on a whim. It made me feel like s**t because I had to go through two different confirmation windows to make sure I was doing it on purpose.
It told me that if I did it, everything involving her, including the furniture, Bells, and all the memories from other neighbors would be erased permanently. I chose for it to happen.
I loaded Emiliano's game, and I got a letter in the mail, and it was the one Sonja had sent me while I was in the doctor's office today.
Dear Emiliano,
Thank you for letting me play. I'm having lots of f un. Lookey, I'm a pirate!! Tee-Hee.
heart Sonja
I saw that after I had just deleted her save file, and it hit me how much of her was gone now, and that no one would even remember her and all I had left of it was this letter she sent me. I started crying and for a while I couldn't stop. I don't know why I got so worked up over the deal in a video game, but it felt like I had lost a part of Sonja herself, and it felt like I lost memories I wouldn't get back, because I would recall it but no one else would.
I'm so sorry I got rid of AC Sonja, Sonja. It feels like one of the biggest mistakes I've made.
