"Finished."
Griseo set down her paintbrush and looked at the painting she had just completed on her canvas.
At first, she had mainly painted the sky and earth, all of it incomparably oppressive and lifeless. Only when she finally painted the Meteor did this dead world gain a glimmer of hope.
And it was precisely because of that final protagonist, the "Meteor," that the entire painting was elevated. The painting before them could absolutely be called one of Griseo's finest works.
Kiana looked at the painting before her and found herself speechless as well.

"Yes. Because I painted it for Kiana."
"All right! Then I'll take it."
Hearing that, Kiana stopped being polite and quickly accepted the painting.

After hearing the question, Griseo thought for a moment before answering.
"..."
"Mm, and then?"
Kiana waited for Griseo to continue, but
