You can't force someone to rekindle their motivation, it has to come naturally. Well, best of luck to them in whatever they decide to do next. ヾ(´･ᴗ･`）

Probably due to a large amount being teenagers, we have quite a few producers who become conflicted and struggle with emotions regarding their work, despite Western Vocaloid being a small and mostly non-commercial community. I think the emotional stress sometimes caused is exacerbated by making music being a creative and therefore personal venture. It's not the first time I've seen a producer jump ship because it has taken some form of emotional toll, and probably won't be the last.

They do sometimes come back of their own accord, but you have to let it run its natural cause and wait for the individual to recuperate.
