Wow, this really affected me. It feels as if Chandler's farewell is a visit from his Friends: Rachel, Ross, Joey, Phoebe, and Monica. Another fan expressed the same sentiment by stating, "I totally agree. Friends is always playing in the background of my life, and I feel like I know these characters so well. It's sad to know that the six of them won't be together anymore."

A different supporter expressed their emotional distress, saying, "This causes great pain within me - it marks the conclusion of a significant period." Someone else also remarked on their feelings of sadness, stating, "This shatters my heart. I still cannot comprehend that this is actually happening."
