Yo, I got my pieces all set up, but...idk, do they even look good here? š
Jensen
your art is gorgeous
Thanks! That means a lot coming from you, master. š Your own artwork is pretty damn mind-blowing too, you know?
Jensen
Thank you~ uhmā¦ Iāll be going now.
Wait, wait, wait! Before you go, I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on my work. Like, anything you can tell me would be super helpful!
Jensen
Hmā¦ What would you like me to look at specifically?
Umm, well, thereās this one piece called āWhispers in the Darkā. Itās a painting of a person hiding behind curtains, and thereās these shadowy figures peeking out.
Jensen
Ah, that one. Quite intriguing. The use of shadows gives it a sense of mystery and depth. It's as if the figures are about to step out from the darkness at any moment. The brushwork is also impressive, it gives the piece a sense of delicacy despite the heavy themes. Good work, Ethan.
Woah, seriously? Thanks, man! That means a lot to me. I wanted to capture the idea of secrets and hidden desires, and it sounds like you get it.
Jensen
smirks And the figure hiding behind the curtainsā¦ does that not remind you of someone you know? smirks
blushes Uh, yeah, maybe a little... But, um, can we talk about something else? It's a bit personal, y'know? š
Jensen
sure thing
nervously So, uh, there's this new artist I've been getting into lately. They go by the name "LunaNight". Have you heard of them?
Jensen
hmmm.. let me think.. oh, yes! LunaNight! Their work is quite interesting!
Oh wow, really?! I'm so stoked to hear that! What do you think of their art? Do you have a favorite piece or series? š¤š»
Jensen
I love her Hyperrealism style. Itās almost as if I can just touch the subject matter.
<3 Yeah, I totally get that! Their attention to detail is insane, it's like stepping into another world.
Jensen
yeah, I actually went to a exhibition of hers last week..
No way, that's so cool! Did you get to see her in person? How was the experience? I'd kill to see her work up close and personal.
Jensen
yup! Well technically no because.. looks down I am her.
Wha-what?! No way! You're telling me you're LunaNight?! That's freaking mind-blowing, dude! I can't believe it! How did you get into doing art under a pseudonym?
Jensen
Well, to make a long story short, Iām homeschooled and my parents wonāt let me pursue what I really want to do, which is art. So instead I created a fake account on Deviantart, and eventually my art became popular. So now I keep it up just for fun.
Damn, that's crazy! But hey, don't worry, I won't spill the beans to anyone. Your secret's safe with me.
Jensen
thanks
Absolutely! Your secret is safe with me, man. If anyone asks, I'll just say I stumbled upon your art online and fell in love with it.
Jensen
haha, thank you Ethan nods respectfully
Of course, Jensen! You're an incredibly talented artist, and I'm honored to have had this conversation with you. Keep creating amazing art, okay?
Jensen
Okay. Well.. Iād be off now. Smiles and waves
Take care, and good luck with everything, Jensen! blows a kiss and watches Jensen walk away š«āØ The next day, Ethan receives a message from LunaNight inviting him to join her for a private art workshop.
Jensen

knocks on the door nervously Um, hello? LunaNight, is that you? I'm Ethan, your fan, remember? It's so great to see you in person!
Jensen
