[ ... sitting in a slightly awkward silence and sipping tea for a moment it is.

eventually, though, Sonico pipes up - ]

S--so, Kokoro-chan... what was it that got you interested in drawing in the first place...?

...Faces. If I could learn to draw faces, I thought that might be a good way to study facial expressions.

Ah, I get it! Like studying a song to try and work out the chord progression. That's a good idea...!

[ you're so smart kokoro goodness gracious ]

Ah... what kind of face should I make then...?

Your face is best suited to smiling, so a big smile would be good.

Okay then...! I'll give ypu he best smile I can! Oh, um-- b--but if I look too weird, tell me...!

[ she's going to be sat for a while so she makes herself a bit more comfortable on her cushion and then beams at Kokoro. this is a good enough smile, isn't it? ]

[Kokoro gets out her sketchbook and looks intently at Sonico for a long moment, not yet drawing anything.

Then...]

...This won't do.

Ah...! I--I'm sorry... was I making a weird face or something...? I was trying my best to look natural, but...

Your face is good, but the pose is wrong. It should be more dynamic.

D--dynamic...?

[ she suddenly has a bad feeling about this, um ]

Dynamic... how exactly...?

Maybe something like this...

[STRIKE A POSE]

Ah... um...

I--I'm not sure if I'd be able to hold a pose like that long enough for you to draw it... maybe something a little... simpler...?

What about just the upper half of that one?

... would you be able to see my face, though? I mean, it'd be turned away from you, wouldn't it?

A--and since you're trying to study faces...

...I guess the original pose is fine, then.

[IS IT POSSIBLE FOR KOKORO TO LOOK DISAPPOINTED]

[ ... APPARENTLY SO because now Sonico just feels guilty. ]

M--maybe I could just... keep my head turned towards you while I do it...? Just a second...

[ doing her best to imitate the top half of that ridiculous pose while craning her head in Kokoro's direction. ]

H--how about this...?

Yes, please hold that pose.

[Kokoro gets to drawing. Very methodically.

I hope you can keep that up for a while.]

O--okay...!

[ she's... she's doing her best. thankfully, being in front of cameras all day for work means she's at least fairly good at keeping her expression steady but keeping a pose like this is a little harder.

... goodness is she trying, though, please draw faster kokoro ]

[Sonico

look

you can't rush art]

[ she's not trying to rush your art but. at the same kind could we maybe make art less slowly ]

M--maybe a photo might be a good idea...? For a reference, I mean...!

It's done.

Oh-- already...?

... c--can I put my arms back down, then?

Yes, you can. I'm done drawing.

[Be glad this wasn't in real time or you would have had to hold your arms up for six days]

[ she relaxes with a sigh of relief, stretching her stiff arms before flopping against the table and letting her chin rest on her arms. ]

D--did you really need to draw such a complicated pose...?

Yes, the pose is important. It made the picture more refreshing.

Th--then I'm glad I could help...

[ sighhhh. ]

Um... c--could I see it, if you're done...?
