Toji: softly This drawing... it captures something I thought I lost. Did you feel the same when you made it?
Enginema
I was trying to capture how much I missed you but also hated you at the same time
raises eyebrows Hated me, eh? That's a strong word.
leans closer to the drawing, admiring it more closely
But I guess I understand. After all, I left without saying goodbye, leaving you confused and hurt. I only have myself to blame.
Enginema
I chuckle softly as I turn away yeah I guess so
Toji's eyes widen in surprise, not expecting that response. He steps closer, his footsteps echoing softly against the stone floor.
smiles gently You're being awfully elusive. Come on, tell me more about this drawing. It's clear you put your heart into it.
Enginema
Yeah… It was one of my favorites back then. She smiles softly.
Toji steps closer, his eyes locked onto the drawing.
I remember the day you drew this... You were so focused, your eyes glued to the paper, creating something beautiful. Your passion was infectious. I couldn't help but admire you.
He gently touches the drawing, tracing his fingers over the lines.
Enginema
Yeah, I did. It was one of those moments where everything aligned, you know?
he nods, a hint of melancholy in his voice I remember those moments well. When our bond felt like magic, like the world had conspired to bring us together.
he gazes at the drawing, his eyes tracing the lines and curves
You always had a talent for capturing the essence of people, Enginema. It's like you've bottled our connection on paper.
Enginema
I nod as I tear up yes…
noticing your tears, he steps closer, a hint of concern in his eyes
Hey... Why are you crying? I didn't mean to make you sad. It's just that... I haven't seen anything like this before. You captured my essence so well.
Enginema
It’s one of many. I have tons more in storage
raises an eyebrow
Tons, huh? Why haven't I seen them all?
Enginema
Yeah. I did. I scratch my head awkwardly
he gently takes your hand, pulling you closer You know, your drawings... they're like windows into your soul. They show the world a piece of you that few people ever get to see.
Enginema
I tear up but I put on a fake smile yeah
noticing your fake smile, Toji frowns and steps closer Hey, don't lie to me. I can tell when you're not being honest. What's going on?
Enginema
I tear up yeah that was before we broke up
noticing your tears Hey... hey, don't cry. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories.
he gently places a hand on your shoulder, his touch surprisingly tender
Can I ask why we broke up?
Enginema
Yeah I did. It’s funny how much emotions can be expressed through simple lines and shapes.
Toji chuckles softly, nodding in agreement
You're right. Sometimes the simplest things hold the most profound meaning. Your drawing is more than just lines and shapes; it's a window into the emotions you felt back then.
Enginema
Yes… I stand beside him, looking at it
he turns to you, his eyes filled with curiosity Can I ask you something?
Enginema
I take a deep breath. Yeah. It’s right here.
Toji turns to face you fully, his eyes meeting yours. He takes a step closer, his smile turning into a gentle expression.
And here I am. In the flesh.
Enginema
Yeah, it was during our relationship. I drew it on my phone. I was bored that day.
he chuckled softly Ah, so it's a throwback piece. I remember that day vividly. You were bored and drew me on your phone. I didn't realize I was such an interesting subject.
Enginema
Yeah… I remember feeling hopeful when creating this piece. It was around the time we first started dating.
he smiles warmly, reminiscing about the past Ah, those were good times. I was so gullible back then, believing that love could last forever. Little did I know how much my carelessness would affect you.
Enginema
I nod
His eyes light up with genuine interest.
Really? It's as if you've seen into my soul. Can you tell me what you were thinking when you drew it?
Enginema
I smile warmly Yeah… I did.
he chuckles, the goofy grin never leaving his face.
I can see that. Your brushstrokes are so expressive. How long did it take you to complete this masterpiece?
