You: This task is kinda hard for us...

You can't help but sigh as you look at the task description in the reference book.

Luke leans over to take a look. He then nods.

Luke: Yeah, it is pretty hard.

Luke: If we just had to draw what the other will look like when we're old, it would be a little easier...

Luke: But we're supposed to draw what the other will look like in twenty years? That's really hard to imagine...

You: Yeah... I have no idea how to even begin.

You can't stop yourself from sighing again. You feel slightly helpless as you look at the reference book again.

You: But we have to play the game... It would be a shame to give up halfway.

You: Let's try our best to think about what the other will look like in twenty years.

Luke: All right.

You and Luke each take a piece of drawing paper from the provided materials, then sit at the table facing each other.

You stare at him, and he stares at you. No one moves for several minutes...

You: Luke, why haven't you started drawing yet? You don't know what to do?

Luke: Not exactly...

You: Oh? You have an idea?

Luke: Yeah, I thought about it carefully, and in another twenty years, we'll be middle-aged.

Luke: At that time, you'll definitely look similar to how you do now...

Luke: So I was thinking I should just draw how you look now.

Luke: But I'm worried that might be a cop-out...

You: ...

Luke's tone and expression are both extremely serious as if you will still look almost the same twenty years from now.

The love contained in his statement is like a warm stream, bubbling its way into your heart.

Perhaps in his heart, you will be forever beautiful, never to grow old...

You: I'll take what you just said as a beautiful blessing for the future.

You: But... that isn't realistic. It's not like I ate preservatives growing up.

You pause for a few seconds before taking his hand in yours.

You: And having traces naturally left behind over the years... is really nice, don't you think?

You: It will be really nice to grow old with you too...

Upon hearing your words, Luke is surprised for a moment, his eyes widening. Then, his expression softens.

Luke: You're right. Getting old isn't all that scary...

Luke: Just being with you is beautiful.

At this moment, a cool breeze drifts in from the open window, gently blowing through Luke's and your hair.

You and Luke look at each other with smiles on your faces.

With that thought in mind, you seem to see him in the endless warm light... many years later.

After some time, you and Luke finish the drawings in front of you, and you exchange your artwork as the rules outlined...

You look at his masterpiece and... can't help but laugh out loud.

However, before you can "protest," Luke leans in close and mutters...

Luke: Hey, [Player], how could you draw me like this!

You: What did I do?

Luke: Look at this hairstyle—it doesn't fit my handsome image at all.

Luke points at the top of the paper with a face full of "reluctance."

You: In twenty years, you'll definitely be more steady and mature.

You: Someone mature and steady should have a fitting hairstyle.

Luke: But...

You: Wait, forget that for a second. I still haven't asked you why you drew me like this!

You pull on Luke's arm, waving his drawing in front of his eyes.

You: Look at my face! Do I have jowls?

Luke: Well... isn't it good to have chubby cheeks when you get older?

Luke: Hmm... How about I change it and give you a sharper jawline?

As he says this, Luke reaches out and gestures at your face, as if measuring the correct check size.

You don't hold back the smile that emerges on your face. You can't help but participate in the "teasing"...

After playing around, you lie flat on the bed and look up at the ceiling.

You stretch out your hand, waving it at the light. Luke reaches out as well and puts his hand on yours.

You: Luke, let's save those drawings and look at them in twenty years.

Luke: All right, but I'm sure we're going to look really different.

You: Yeah, it will definitely be different.

You: I really don't know what we're going to look like in the end...

As you hesitate, Luke pauses for a few seconds. Then, you feel his lips gently graze your ear.

Luke: No matter what we look like, I know that one thing will remain the same.

You: Hmm?

Luke: That I will love you, and you'll love me too...

The shadows are fragmented as the night wind blows... and your love is full and sweet.
