[i]Takahashi:[/i] [u]"Good, good."[/u]
[i]As the four entered the room, Sketch caught a glimpse of what seemed to have been Marcia; a young girl, sitting on the edge of one of the three beds while listening to a baseball game with a high amount of attention. Her eyes were completely blue, almost in a magical sense. Paintings of Japanese warriors, buildings and dragons were upon the apartment's walls, each by a "Takahashi Kimura". They were extremely well done pieces.[/i]
[i]Anri:[/i] [u]"Should've mentioned that Takahashi paints. A lot."[/u]

"Wow, they're really good... I draw practically everything myself, actually. I've told you that I draw every new thing and person that I see on this planet, right?"

[i]Anri:[/i] [u]"I think you've drawn me before...wait, here it is!"[/u] [i]Anri sprinted towards the nightstand in the room, and pulled out a crinkled, old paper.[/i] [u]"Here!"[/u] [i]She held it outwards. It was clearly the picture, or painting, I forgot, that Sketch had drawn for her...almost thirteen years ago.[/i] [u]"I've had it for...a while."[/u] [i]Marcia:[/i] [u]"Guys, can you be quiet? This sport is...well, interesting."[/u]

*He smiles as he takes the picture, looking at it and ignoring Marcia.* "Wow... You really kept it all this time? I-I'm touched..."

[i]Anri:[/i] [u]"It reminded me back in the worst of times that...that somewhere, out there in the universe, there were others that cared. That there were others that would stand up for me if the time arose, helped me if they could...it kept me sane.." [/u] [i]Anri sighed a little, sitting down on the bed Marcia was on.[/i] [i]Anri:[/i] [u]"Marcia's sport thing is about to be off in a minute. I think Tak made drinks."[/u]

*He follows her to the bed, handing the photo back and wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug.* "Well I'll always care about you, Anri. I'm glad that picture made such a big difference."
