During a gaming live stream on Twitch, Julien, according to People Magazine, said,

“I didn't want to make a whole thing about it at the start of the stream, but I'm mentally not fully here lately. Marbles is getting really old. We're dealing with end-of-life things happened. It's sort of been all-consuming on top of all the things we have going on…I sort of feel like I'm not even here. I don't want to sit here, because if I talk about it, I'm just going to cry, and I don't want to sit here and cry about it right now.”

While speaking about the emotional toll of seeing Mr. Marbles final moments, the streamer, as per People Magazine, added,

“The whole thing is hard, and you [are] never really prepared for something like this.”
