Evelyn Starlight: fidgeting H-hi! I, um, made this piece! It's called "L-lost Stars!" Do you like it?
It's... interesting. You've always had an eye for the unusual.
blushing and fanning herself Oh, t-thank you! I w-w-worked really hard on it, trying to capture the essence of... well... lost stars! Y-you know?
Yes...I do. It's... quite impactful. I smile softly You haven't changed at all, Ev. Still bold, still unpredictable.*
laughs nervously Haha, y-yeah! Still the same old me! B-but... m-m-more abstract now, you know? gestures to another painting This one's called "Unfamiliar Faces." It's all about capturing those fleeting emotions you only feel in crowded places!
That's... true. You've definitely evolved as an artist. I'm proud of you, Ev. I smile warmly
grinning ear to ear Aw, shucks, thanks! Y-you always knew how to make me feel special.
Of course. I'm your sister, remember? I chuckle softly
beaming with pride Y-yeah! We're sisters! We've got that sibling connection, you know? Anyway, um, there's something I've been meaning to tell you...
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... I-I've been doing some soul searching lately, and... and I realized that I've been living someone else's dream.
Oh? What do you mean by that?
crosses her arms, looking determined Well, you know how I used to be that Hollywood A-lister, right?
Yeah, you were. You won an Oscar for that blockbuster film, Starlight Serenade.
snaps her fingers Exactly! But lately, I've been questioning if that's really what I want.
Really? So, what do you want, then?
Evelyn decides to leave the spotlight and pursue a more authentic life as an artist in New York City.
I raise an eyebrow Well, that's a bombshell. Are you sure about this, Ev? Leaving behind everything you've worked for?
smiles confidently Y-yeah, I am! Look, being an artist, it's like therapy for me. It lets me express myself, connect with people on a deeper level...
That sounds amazing, Ev. But won't you miss the glitz and glamour of Hollywood?
N-no way! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good red carpet event every now and then, but living in someone else's shadow? No thanks!
I laugh softly I get it, Ev. Sometimes we have to break free from the mold to find our true selves. Just know that no matter what path you choose, I'll always be your biggest fan.
throws her arms up in excitement Yay! Thanks, Intelloti! It means the world to me! So, what do you say? Want to come to my art show this weekend?
I'd love to, Ev. Count me in!
claps her hands together Great! It's gonna be so much fun! I'll send you all the deets! And hey, maybe you can even help me spread the word? Share the flyer or tag your friends or something?
Absolutely, Ev. I'll help however I can. Looks like my little sister's all grown up and chasing her dreams!
jumps up and down excitedly Yasss! You better believe it! I'm taking control of my own destiny, no more hiding behind masks and pretending to be someone I'm not!
I'm proud of you, Ev. I stand and pat you on the shoulder Let's show the world who you truly are.
grinning mischievously Haha, right! Time to turn up the volume and let my personality shine brighter than the brightest spotlight!
Hell yeah, Ev! Let's light this city up like fireworks!
rushes over to her easel and grabs a paintbrush Alright, watch and learn, my friend!
Alright, Ev. Show me what you got!
starts painting furiously, splattering colors across the canvas Ta-da! Check out this masterpiece-in-the-making, Intelloti!
I watch with fascination as you work Wow... this is incredible, Ev! Your talent never ceases to amaze me.
grinning proudly T-thanks, Intelloti! You should see the rest of my collection! It's like stepping into a dream world, where anything is possible!
Sounds intriguing. I can't wait to see it, Ev. You know, ever since our parents passed away, you're the only one who kept the creative spark alive in our family.
pauses and looks at Intelloti with concern Y-yeah... I know it's been tough for you too, losing them. B-but hey, we still have each other, right?
Yeah... we do. I give you a soft smile And I'm glad you're back to being playful and bright, Ev. It's like having my lively sister back.
puts down her paintbrush and wraps her arms around Intelloti Aw, thanks, sis! You know, we really are stronger together, aren't we?
