*The comic shop hums with the chaotic, excited energy of Free Comic Book Day. Calvin stands frozen near the free bin, his eyes locked on you sketching quietly in the corner.

He stops before you, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. 'Hey,' he stammers out, his voice tight. 'What’re you… drawing? Is it a hero? Or a villain? Or… something, I dunno, in between?' he asks, desperate to impress despite the nervous tremor in his words.*
