yeah

the first drawing in the book is me asleep if that helps

[manuscripture]

PUT IT BACK.

[starmark]

what's the second drawing of?

[manuscripture]

You already know because I know you've gone all the way through it by now.

[starmark]

i skimmed

i like how you knew exactly which sketchbook i was talking about too

[manuscripture]

Because I know what the first picture is, doofus.

Unless you were guessing.

[starmark]

you know

if i was lying about having found the sketchbook in the first place you would've just confirmed that you actually do have a sketchbook full of pictures of me

which is pretty incriminating

(i'm not lying i actually found it but i'm just saying)

(columbo style)

[manuscripture]

No shit.

Except THIS confirms that you were going through my things.

(Columbo sucks. I've said it once and I'll say it again)

[starmark]

"your things" are every part of the castle that isn't my room

by existing here i'm sooner or later going to go through your things

everything is your thing

[manuscripture]

What did you think of the book?

I'm just curious.

Since I know you read it.

[starmark]

you make me look like something priceless

i liked it

i don't like myself a lot but i like the guy i see when you're the one drawing him

[manuscripture]

Why do you not like yourself?

You're beautiful. I have said that before.

[starmark]

i'm not fishing for a self-esteem boost or anything

i just meant i don't go around thinking i'm something special, but you make me look like i am

i never got this notif gdi

[manuscripture]

Because you are special.

Jotaro, I don't hand these things out. I look at them not at face-value, but at what they are. That whole book is a testament to that.

Find which one is your favorite and tell me what it is.

it's okay i have all the time in the world

[starmark]

oh um

okay hang on

...

oh

you drew me with my guitar?

[manuscripture]

I did.

Back at the apartment that night you played through the wall to me.

[starmark]

...i was playing through the w

you did that from memory??

[manuscripture]

Of course I did.

I did it as you were doing it. I knew exactly how you were sitting and where your hands must have been on the guitar. How close you were to the wall by ear. I had watched you enough times by that point to know.

Does it not look accurate?

[starmark]

it looks like you like me a lot

i dunno what it is about this one but i can tell you were...happy, i guess, but like...warm soft happy, when you drew it

[manuscripture]

I was happy.

It was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

[starmark]

...really?

i should do it more often then

[manuscripture]

Contrary to what people think, Jotaro, I like being happy. I haven't BEEN too happy lately.

Drawing you fixes that. The last six or so pages are all from recently.

[starmark]

...

oh i like the one from the beach

when i kicked the water and it sprayed up

i can't believe you can draw like this

do i really look that happy when i'm by the water?

[manuscripture]

You do. You smile and everything.

[starmark]

i guess that's something you and the ocean have in common
