Kiya was on their bed drawing in their sketchbook,

The sun was slowly sitting at the bottom of the purple sky beginning to rest.

Eris was out of the dorm for the night to go stay with Mira instead for a study night sleepover.

Kiya's pencil makes indents in the paper to create a shape, then turn into another shape that would eventually turn to a masterpiece.

It was peaceful, nothing but the quiet breeze from the window,  the sketchy sounds of the pencil could be heard.

But it appeared that Kiya's deeper thoughts had different plans for the night.

A distant memory resurfaced in their mind, of a time they hoped they'd long forgotten.

To when they were a child.
