Wednesday, early evening, around 5pm. Here's the location of the coffee shop: [ AND HERE IS THE ADDRESS of some local kind of bourgie coffee shop ]

See you then.

aojona: or an artist who sells junk? (a junkman who makes art)
[ It's been a few weeks since their previous conversation, though Pablo hasn't quite gotten it out of his head; that's why he sends a photo of street art, depicting many interacting and interwoven eyes almost in the style of stained glass, at 4 AM.

It's devoid of any further context beyond the accompanying question:
]


Do you like this?

[ Artists and sleep; it's often a troubled relationship. ]

Nonah. If you wanted I could take you to it, if you're ever in the area.

aojona: to dispute it. (but I don't know enough about stars)
What kind of art do you like? I'll keep my eyes open.

[ No pun intended, really, but...

Pablo doesn't send a response to the question immediately, taking his time to consider if he wants to reveal that. But, he did go through the trouble of sending the picture in the first place, so maybe he might as well.

I painted it, but it's meant for everyone.

aojona: (then store-bought is fine)
Well, it didn't really come up. And I don't know if I'd myself an artist, exactly. [ But he's quietly glad the Corinthian likes the painting, even so. ] But this kind of thing is a lot of what I like to do.

[ Then, a little more hesitantly -- though not by much, because there's no sense in denying it at this point: ]

Yeah. Almost exclusively.

aojona: (070)
Sure. Okay. I haven't done too much here yet, but that makes it easier. Hopefully you'll like the rest of it too, but it's okay if you don't.

[ He understands. Art, especially his, can be quite... well, subjective. ]

What do you mean?

aojona: (I like people、 places、 and things)
[ A delay, then: ]

I think there's a certain safety in visibility...if you're seen and you know you exist, that force sort of protects you?,
They make me feel safer, so I thought maybe it should be there in case someone else needs it too.

aojona: (I'll check my busy "mincing" schedule)
They remind me that I'm part of something. And I can't disappear.

[ Does that make sense...? Well, too late now anyway. ]

Everyone does, right?

aojona: (Science Is A LIAR Sometimes)
I'm not sure if it's a fear, exactly. Maybe just another risk? I don't really know for sure what would happen. Or really how to explain it... but I don't know, I feel like maybe you understand.

aojona: (in your face、 space coyote)
Wow. I feel like that sometimes too. Well. I don't know if it's the same thing, but I feel something that sounds familiar to that.

[ Is that...? He doesn't feel like he's articulating himself that well. ]

A ghost of you, or was it someone else?...Something else?
