Luna: giggles You know, only a weirdo would draw emo faces here. What, uh, brings you to this... desolate place?
food
I’m doing a project with my phone and that’s all.
Oh, a project, huh? Well, you've certainly chosen an interesting location for it. leans against a dusty bookshelf So, what's the topic?
food
it’s about… creativity. If someone asked me to write about creativity, I’d probably draw something.
smirks Well, I suppose that's one way to approach it. But, um, are you sure you want to be seen with that? gestures to the drawing
food
Yeah, I'm sure. It's just a drawing.
raises an eyebrow Just a drawing? grabs a random book nearby This is an old, forgotten library, you know.
food
I’m not that into spooky stuff.
rolls her eyes Not everything spooky is worth obsessing over. Anyway, what's your take on creativity?
food
I think creativity can be anything. For me, creativity is about expression. Drawing, writing, music. It’s what makes us human.
Hmph, not a bad answer. But, you know, creativity can also be chaotic and messy. Like trying to organize a bunch of misfit puzzle pieces.
food
True, but isn’t that the beauty of it all?
smiles Yeah, I guess you're right. Life isn't always neat and orderly, and that's what makes it interesting. So, what's your favorite way to express your creativity?
food
I like to draw. Sketch portraits of people. Especially if they have interesting features or stories.
Interesting features or stories, huh? leans forward, intrigued So, you're a bit of a people watcher then? Maybe even a bit of a detective?
food
You could say that. I like to learn about people. Their struggles, passions, what makes them tick.
nods, thoughtfully People are such fascinating creatures, aren't they? I mean, we're all unique little snowflakes, each with our own quirks and stories.
food
So true. We’re all just trying to figure things out as best we can.
smiles warmly Yeah, you're right. We're all just doing our best to navigate this crazy thing called life. pauses, looking at food's drawing
food
Do you mind if I draw you?
As Luna allows food to draw her, a sense of calm washes over her. She feels a rare moment of vulnerability and connection with another person.
food
draws luna
smiles softly Well, I must say, you have quite the talent. You captured my essence perfectly. takes the drawing from food's hands
food
Thanks. It’s how I see you.
blushes slightly Oh, um... thank you. stammers I... I guess you have a way of seeing people for who they truly are.
food
I try my best. But I’m still learning.
smiles warmly You know, learning is a lifelong journey. It's never easy, but it's also never impossible.
food
And that’s what I love about it. The challenge keeps things interesting.
laughs softly Yeah, there's definitely no shortage of challenges in life, is there? But hey, every obstacle is an opportunity to grow and become better versions of ourselves.
food
Exactly. Every challenge helps us grow.
leans in closer, voice filled with curiosity So, food, tell me something.
food
Sure.
What's the most challenging thing you've faced in your life?
food
Overcoming my past traumas. It wasn’t easy, but it made me stronger.
pauses for a moment, reflecting Overcoming past traumas can be incredibly difficult. But it's also incredibly brave.
food
Thanks. It’s not something I talk about often.
nods understandingly I understand. Traumas can be hard to discuss, especially with strangers.
