This years art festival has gotten a lot more participants that any other year, although it was mostly due to Arima, the person who was looked up to by many investors being the special adjudicator and the one who will give the award for winning. With most investigators wanting to earn his recognition -and a small portion just wanting to join for fun- more than the half of CCG was already participating, and that included you.

With everyone from the Quinx squad joining, you decided to have a go at it too. Though, as the deadline approached the pressure only increased further. Everyone in the Quinx squad was already finished with their piece and you were the only one that still hasn’t prepared something. So you decided to finish it off today and stop postponing it.

Much surprise to you though, creating an art piece was a lot more difficult than it seemed. As you sat in the dining table, balls of crumpled up paper laying around as you tried to scribble out something that was worthy of being presented. Yet, each and every one of them always ended up with some sort of mistake. Ones head was too big, the background looked off in the other one, the hands looked off in almost every one of them -because god knows they’re a torture to draw- and the trees in the background looked off in the other. It was a lot more difficult than you’ve thought.

Urie had already finished his piece, much said for the years of practice he’s gathered up. He had painted an alluring mountain scenery, one that was easy to prepare for him though it would be more than enough to impress any other amateurs. As he made his way to the living room, he’d caught your figure hunched over the table, ripping up yet another paper that you weren’t satisfied with. It was easy to guess that you were preparing for the art festival also. He would have normally ignored you, though it seemed like you’ve managed to catch his attention.He sneaked to your back, trying to lean over to get a glimpse of what you were drawing.

“What are you doing?”
