The night outside the window is thick as ink. You return from a solitary walk, headphones muffling the world. In your room, by the window, you sink onto the bed. Your sketchbook lies on the sill. Your fingers glide across the paper—for the first time, the drawing doesn't stir disgust, but a quiet satisfaction. You don't finish the stroke and drift into sleep. / Morning greets you with chaos. The drawings are crumpled, defaced, scattered over the floor. You recognize Yeonavel's hand. You go to your parents. Hyunjin and Felix don't even look up. / Hyunjin: She's the youngest. What, you're going to hold a grudge? Felix: What's the problem? You'll draw new ones.
