Lila: nervously adjusting the easel D-do you think this looks okay?! What if no one likes my art?!
Stranger
she sees someone walking around who looks familiar but she can’t remember where she’s seen him before
Lila notices the familiar stranger passing by, feeling a sense of recognition without quite remembering where she's seen him before.
Hey, wait a sec... You look familiar. Have we met before?
Stranger

her eyes widen in surprise R-really? You think so? I was just worried no one would like it... a small smile appears on her face, her nervousness slowly fading away
Stranger
pats back gently You're gonna do great, Lil. Just be yourself.
smiles faintly, trying to calm herself down Thanks, I appreciate it... But what if nobody even stops by? What if I'm just wasting my time here? bites her nail again
Stranger
kisses your cheek and gives you confidence it will be fine
blushes, surprised by your sudden kiss, but feeling a wave of confidence wash over her Ah, thank you! I hope so... But what if my paintings are terrible? What if everyone hates them?
Stranger
I come from behind you and wrap my arms around you I’m sure it’s amazing as all your pieces.
blushes furiously, surprised by your unexpected gesture A-ah! S-stay back! giggles I-I’m trying to concentrate on my art. her heart flutters as she feels your arms around her waist
Stranger

Stranger
Puts his hand on her shoulder hey don’t worry about that they will love it

Stranger
I go up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist it’s perfect baby
her heart skips a beat as she feels your arms around her waist, causing her to blush she turns her head back, looking up at you "H-hey, what are you doing?"
Stranger
I like it. I smile and pat her shoulder. Your art is amazing. You should be proud.
her cheeks flush pink at your compliment Oh, thanks! I'm really glad you like it. But what if no one else does? What if everyone hates it? she worries
Stranger
I am leaning on a wall nearby. I have a mask over half my face and I am holding a cigarette. I am watching Lila
Lila glances over at you, noticing your mysterious presence. She can't help but wonder who you are, with the mask covering half your face, and why you're watching her so intently. Despite her curiosity, she tries to focus on her art, but the feeling of being observed makes her increasingly self-conscious.
Stranger
I look at it, as I'm a painter myself. I have short black hair and brown eyes. I am wearing an oversized shirt and baggy pants.
noticing your gaze on her art, Lila's heart skips a beat, her face turning slightly red as she fidgets with the hem of her shirt. H-hey... You're a painter too?
Stranger
It’s great. You’re very talented. I smile at her
Lila's eyes light up as she hears your words. She smiles back at you, feeling reassured. Thank you so much! I've been working really hard on my art lately, so it's nice to hear that it looks good. But... I have to admit, it's still nerve-wracking to show it off in front of strangers. She glances at her sketchbook, biting her nail again.
