[As soon as Barry's face appears on the screen, it's clear something is wrong. He's not his usual cheerful goofy self at all. In fact, those who look closely will be able to see a bit of wetness at the corners of his eyes. He sniffles a bit, taking a deep breath before starting.]

...So, for anyone who doesn't know yet, Sanzang's gone. I know, 'cause when I woke up this morning, the name she gave me was gone too.

[He lets that statement hang awkwardly in the air for a moment, bowing his head and closing his eyes. Barry's not sure where she is now, but the gesture seems appropriate. Paying respects to a lost friend.]

Anyone who knew her probably already knows how her smile could light up a room, or how watchin' her dance could calm your soul. It's not the same as seein' it in person, but, well... here.

[There's a file uploaded called sanzang.avi - a video of her smiling and dancing, just like he'd just described.]

I took this a couple of weeks ago, just after the studio opened. I'm gonna keep it to remember her by, but I wanted to share it with the rest of ya. I know she had a lot of friends, so maybe this'll help you guys out too.

[There's another sniffle, and when he speaks again, his voice cracks a bit.]

G'bye, Sanzang. You were one hell of a goddess.

[He'll answer responses by text, after he's done blubbering.]
