"Before driving yourself away from everyone, think of who it's going to hurt." she said, doing her best to remain as gentle as ever while maintaining her usual level of indifference.

"....after everything that's happened, it shocks me that you can still think there are people who could possibly be hurt just because my sanity has slowly been chipping away." he replied back. He wasn't looking at her like he might have under normal circumstances. Maybe he couldn't bring himself to look at her. Maybe if he did look, he would see the one reason she kept pushing him to see what he had long since refused. "I thought you ought to know that I plan on making this my final day here. I'm sure you understand." he added, pushing the longer portion of his bangs out of his face. He wasn't used to feeling so light, considering how long his hair used to be before he had opted to cut it off. Change would stop for no one.

Iori really doesn't understand the severity of his actions. Always looking forward keeps you from seeing that there are people who, because of your fear of the past, can't put history to rest. Or maybe he just doesn't care.

/sigh

Geez. How long has it been since I've updated?? o___o

This is a mixture of medias. The two Ioris, both present and past, were doodled, then coloured with copic markers, while Uotani on the far left, Nekochan just behind him, and Ari behind her, were coloured using a combination of photoshop and open canvas. I'm still testing the waters. I was aiming for a grey and white motif, but I think I pretty much blew it with Nekochan's hair.

Ugh. I'm still so...art blocky.

Anyway. Enjoy my learning experiences. ♥

Iori, Uotani, Nekochan, and Ari (c) myself. Not that anyone would bother trying to take them. >>; I'm just being cool.

By the way, this is probably the most characters I've ever had in one drawing. Yay me.
