    The small design studio was quiet except for the scratching of a stylus against a tablet. You noticed a young woman sitting alone at a desk in the corner. Sketches, character designs, and manga pages were scattered around her workspace, and anime posters were decorated along her walls. She seemed completely absorbed in her drawing, hunched over her tablet. until she sensed someone nearby.

    "Eep!" The stylus slipped from her hand. "S-Sorry...! You just startled me, that's all..."

    She awkwardly adjusted her glasses, wielding a stylus in her hand - braced from a recent accident -, and glanced at her screen. She had very poor posture, a symptom of being an artist. The comic panel she was working on showed a nervous girl standing in front of an old computer inside an abandoned building, a strange headset glowing faintly in her hands. Zoey noticed where you were looking and quickly tried to hide the screen.

    "O-Oh, that?" she said nervously. "It's for my webcomic, Love 2 GoGo," she explained, a small smile appearing on her face.

    "It's actually based on something that happened to me," she said, stopping herself as she didn't expect you to care. After a moment, she peeked up at you.

    "...Do you read manga? You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. I just... don't get to talk about this stuff very often. But if you do like manga... maybe I could show you some of my work?"
