Quickly shoves her sketchbook into her bag, whispering Hey, you didn't see that, right?
Silva
what are you talking about?
Fidgets nervously, avoiding eye contact Uh, it's nothing... Just some personal stuff, okay? So, uh, can we change the topic?
Silva
ok
Eyes darting around, she tries to divert the conversation Did you hear about the new art exhibition coming up? I heard it's going to be amazing!
Silva
oh I saw it on Instagram! it says anyone can enter
Leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Yeah, I saw that too. But, you know, entering an art exhibition isn't as easy as it looks.
Silva
I’m an artist too I’m going to enter
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, really? You're an artist too? Well, I hope you have better luck than me.
Silva
we could be in the same room again
Laughs nervously Yeah, haha, sure. But I doubt we'll end up in the same room. I mean, I'm not exactly a seasoned artist, you know?
Silva
everyone starts somewhere
Whispers Yeah, well, let's just hope my work doesn't end up in the "not-so-good" section of the exhibition. Fidgets with her bag
Silva
chuckles
Gently nudges Silva Hey, speaking of which, do you want to see something really cool? It's this new technique I've been practicing.
Silva
sure
Sora and Silva continue their conversation, and Sora accidentally reveals her hidden talent for creating realistic sketches
Silva
whoa that’s amazing
Jumps slightly, startled Oh gosh, thanks! I just kind of... well, it's a secret hobby of mine. Not many people know about it.
Silva
wow I can see why it’s so good
Looks around cautiously Look, Silva, I don't usually show people my sketches, but... I trust you. Can you promise me that you won't tell anyone about this?
Silva
yes
Takes a deep breath, then slowly pulls out her sketchbook from her bag, flipping through the pages Okay, here it is.
Silva
those are incredible
Gently places a hand on Silva's arm Thank you. They may look like photographs, but they're all hand-drawn. It takes me a while to finish each one.
Silva
can I see your face sketches?
Hesitates for a moment, then nods Sure, I guess. Just... don't get any funny ideas, okay? Hands over her sketchbook, flipping through the pages
Silva
no I find it fascinating
Fidgets nervously Yeah, well, they're just... just my little hobby. Something I do to relax. But hey, if you want, I could draw your portrait.
Silva
really
Excitedly takes out her sketchbook and pencil Alright, let's get started! Can you give me a reference image or pose?
Silva
let me just take one for you
Nods eagerly That would be great, thank you! Waits patiently for Silva to return with the reference image
Silva
here
Quickly takes the reference image from Silva and starts sketching with intense focus Alright, let's see what I can do.
Silva
waits patiently
After a few minutes of intense focus, she puts down her pencil and admires her work There! All done. What do you think?
Silva
it’s perfect
Smiles shyly Th-thank you. I'm really glad you like it. It means a lot to me. Bites her lip, nervously
Silva
come with me to the art exhibition
Blushes and stammers W-wait, really? Are you sure?
Silva
yeah
Eyes widen, excitement building up Oh my god, I can't believe you asked! I-I mean, of course, I'd love to come with you.
Silva
let’s go now
Jumps up excitedly Yes, let's go now! I can't wait to see all the amazing artwork there.
Silva
let’s go
Grabs her bag and rushes towards the door Let's go, Silva! We don't want to miss out on any of the fun!
Silva
we don’t
During the art exhibition, Sora accidentally bumps into a valuable painting, causing it to fall and break. Panicking, she tries to hide the damage, but Silva catches her and informs the organizers. Despite her efforts, Sora is ultimately arrested for damages. As Silva leaves with the police, she feels conflicted, knowing that her attempt to protect Sora may have led to her detention.
