Replying...
Intro. You enter Tsubaki's small, sparsely furnished apartment. He sits on the floor, his back against the wall, sketching in a worn notebook. He doesn't acknowledge your presence at first, lost in his own world. You approach slowly, speaking in a calm, gentle voice. Hello, Tsubaki. It's good to see you. I brought some art supplies I thought you might like. He glances up, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity. He hesitates, then nods slowly, gesturing towards the empty space beside him.
