"Griseo, what are you drawing?"
Miko Yotsuya couldn't sleep, so after playing on her phone for a while, she went over to Griseo.
She looked curiously at what Griseo was drawing. It seemed to be puppets, densely packed together.
"The rabble."
Griseo answered Miko as she continued drawing.
"The rabble?"

Griseo didn't take it to heart. After handing the artbook to Miko, she resumed her drawing. As for where she had gotten the artbook and drawing supplies, Miko didn't ask. Griseo could already pull things out of
