you do realize that even if we find him using this picture he'll never speak to us again right
[ maybe haru isn't all that bothered by losing kisumi as a friend, but makoto would be pretty sad if kisumi kept his peace FOREVER because SOMEONE couldn't draw him without throwing 99% of the sketches in the TRASH.
haru might as well put it on his resume. everyone and their mother knows haru was some kind of amphibian in his past life. ]
[IT'S TRUE PROBABLY, TO BE FAIR... and what with getting rid of so many attempts in the garbage, the reality is even if kisumis is crying and rin is about to eat approximately 4.7 small children, the characteristics on a purely aesthetic level are.....accurate. okay? okay....]
true but kisumi's our friend! if you went missing he'd do his best to find you too
[ he already made his argument for rin, but it kind of falls flat when it comes to shark boy's compulsive need to scowl at everyone he knows and loves at least once in his lifetime.
why is someone so talented also so neurotic about the weirdest things. who enjoys seeing people cry, anyways?! ]
[he doesn't say: because he's important to you and to rin. he doesn't say: because it seems right. he doesn't say: because i would have anyway, even if it was just me and him. or especially. he does add:]
I'm sorry, haru I know you want to find them just as much as I do
[ even more so.
but he backpedals in sharp acquiescence, then. it seems so silly, in hindsight, stressing over non-issues when every minute that goes by is another that rin and kisumi have lost in their absence.
he's heard rumors, after all, of what happens to those who vanish on tellus. ]
let's keep working hard together, okay? I know we'll find them eventually

no one will mistake him for anyone else
[IT'S TRUE...]

pink
are you sure this is all you could come up with for him?
[ /readies his hand for ms-paint style abominations ... ]
text
[THIS SAYS SO MUCH HARU PLEASE...r.i.p. everything .... ]
text
well if that's the case then I guess we have no choice
am I allowed to see the rest?
text
[ THERE ARE OTHERS to be fair. he won't lie over something so...petty. but he still won't share/show and tell/what have you. really now. ]
text
why not
text
i don't like them
[makoto tachibana. X( ]
Re: text
(poop emoji) ]
how are we going to find kisumi if people only know what he looks like when he's crying
text
text
I won't laugh
you know I'm terrible at drawing
[ """terrible""" being a complete understatement. ]
text
[along with some others of rin but....maybe he shouldn't have....
"terrible" .....air quotes... ]
text
haru!!!!!! where did you throw them
[ if he's lucky, makoto could try his hand salvaging the remains. you know, because haru keeps insisting on painting them being ridiculous and all. ]
text
[HE'S LIKE IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION? WHERE ELSE???? ]
text
WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THIS ... ]
isn't trash being picked up today
what time did you throw them out
[ so close and yet so far. makoto can't lose hope now or it'll all end in vain. ]
text
they aren't good
i kept the best one
[no chasing the trash truck ok...OKAY????]
text
was the best one to you
[ LET THAT SINK IN FOR JUST A MINUTE, HERE. he's not an artist but can't haru just scribble out the eyes with new ones?????? ??/? ??
tmw you're friends with a low-key sadist ]
text
[THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, HONESTLY MAKOTO HE KNOWS YOU CAN READ....
"low-key sadist" might as well be full-time alongside "swims like a dolphin".

right

it's kisumi. he'll still talk
