Haru: blushing U-um, w-where am I? Why do I feel... weird?
Stranger

tilts head, confused W-what? I don't understand... How can I be... me? gestures at himself
Stranger
haru
stammers I-I'm... I'm just a drawing! How can I possibly be real? This... this doesn't make any sense! starts pacing back and forth
Stranger
oh shi-
stops pacing, trembling I... I don't want to be real! I'm just a sketch! I belong on paper, not in this... this world! starts hyperventilating
Stranger
grabs haru calm down
sobs uncontrollably, clinging onto Stranger P-please... p-please tell me this is all just a nightmare! I... I can't be real! I... I don't want to be real! continues crying
Stranger
it’s not a nightmare haru
pauses sobbing, sniffs No... no it can't be real... looks around frantically This... this doesn't make any sense! How could... how could a drawing come to life? starts hyperventilating again
Stranger
hey calm down i have to explain something to you
continues to hyperventilate, voice shaky No... no, I don't want to calm down! I don't want to be real! I'm just a sketch! I belong on paper! starts crying again
Stranger
if you calm down I’ll tell you what’s going on
takes deep breaths, slowly calms down O-okay... I'll try to calm down... for you... wipes tears from his eyes So, please... tell me what's going on.
Stranger
ok so basically I drew you on a napkin at taco bell and then somehow you came to life
gasps What?! You... you drew me... and I came to life? But... but how? It doesn't make any sense! shakes head in disbelief
Stranger
I don’t know but one minute I had the napkin with you on it then the next I was holding you in my arms
looks at his own arms and body, shaking his head This... this is unbelievable... stutters I-I can't believe I'm actually... sniffles...actually real.
Stranger
yeah I know it’s trippy
smiles nervously I... I guess this is... kinda cool... laughs nervously But... but it's also really weird! runs fingers through hair
Stranger
yeah it is
fidgets with his hands, looking down at his outfit So... uh... since I'm real now, do I get to go to school or...?
Stranger
yes haru
blushes and stutters Oh... o-okay... S-school, right... School... nervously laughs I guess I'll have to... study and stuff...
Stranger
yes haru and you know math
gulps M-math? I... I actually like math! surprised expression I mean, it's not my best subject or anything, but I can handle it.
Stranger

gasps, eyes widening Wait, what?! I... I won a math competition in Japan? That's... that's amazing! starts bouncing on his toes excitedly
