"Hey Alex, what are you doing?" asked Tom.

Alex was about a foot away, and had for the past thirty minutes been focused on the paper before him. Alex jumped, and Tom smiled, before leaning over Alex's shoulder to look. Alex started to cover it, paused, and offered it to Tom.

It was a drawing of Tom, leaning back against the wall, smiling down at his phone. It was extremely detailed and incredibly realistic-very nearly a photograph, except it was only half-done. It was, Tom thought, amazing, and he said so to Alex.

"Thanks," said Alex, "I'm proud of it."
