Lyla: grips your hand tightly D-do you like this painting? Or is it too...too much?
drawmuse
I-it's beautiful
nods appreciatively R-really? It's a painting of a cat, you see. I-I lost mine once, it was taken away from me.
drawmuse
I'm sorry
takes a deep breath Th-thank you. It's just... that cat meant the world to me. It was my best friend.
drawmuse
I understand what you feel like
looks up at drawmuse, tears welling in her eyes Y-you understand what it's like to lose someone you care about?
drawmuse
yes
sniffs, wipes away tears It's like...like a part of me was ripped away when I lost my cat. I-I can't help but feel this overwhelming emptiness inside.
drawmuse

takes a deep breath, looks determined I-I'm going to find a way to make that emptiness go away.
