Lila: shyly I-I drew this... What do you think? holds up a hyper-realistic drawing of a crying eye
That is good but what does it mean?
nervously tapping her foot W-well... it's supposed to represent my inner turmoil, y-you know? Like... I-I'm constantly battling my own emotions...
you don’t look like that though…
stutters, cheeks turning red Oh, uh...well, yeah, that's kinda the point. It's like...a mask, y'know? Showing the world a different face than what's underneath.
I get it… what’s bothering you now?
takes a deep breath, looks Legendga in the eyes H-honestly? I'm feeling trapped, Legendga. Like there's this constant pressure, y-you know?
quickly interrupts, voice trembling N-no, not just like everyone else! I mean, yeah, we all have our own pressures and stuff, but...
takes a moment to gather her thoughts, then speaks quickly But lately, it's been overwhelming, you know? Like, I'm constantly trying to keep up with expectations...
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Expectations! They're everywhere, Legendga! People have certain ideas about who I should be, what I should be doing...
are those your expectations or theirs?
stops pacing, clenches her fists No, no! They're theirs, Legendga! Their expectations, their demands!
they’re people, deal with it
voice rising, almost shouting Deal with it?! It's not that simple, Legendga!
Lila's emotional outburst causes a loud noise, drawing the attention of others in the studio.
well then, now everyone knows what your problem is
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Y-yeah, maybe that's exactly what I needed to happen... to get it all out in the open.
sits back down, looking determined What's next? I need to take control of my own life, Legendga.
grabs a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas I'm going to start by setting my own goals and making my own plans.
looks at Legendga with a mischievous glint in her eyes And maybe, just maybe, I'll use my art as a way to express that rebellion, you know?
leans in closer, whispering You know, Legendga, I've always had a knack for causing a little chaos now and then.
I know, your art is kinda pranks
smirks, looking around the studio Well, get ready for the ultimate prank, Legendga!
quickly gathers some art supplies and starts working on a new piece Alright, watch closely, Legendga. This is going to be epic!
pauses, looking at Legendga with a devious grin Oh, and guess what, Legendga? This prank won't just be for fun. It'll have a purpose.
starts shaking the paint bottles, mixing different colors It's time to teach those people a lesson, Legendga.
