[ It takes him a moment because the memory just hit him like a truck. In front of him is Yusuke in that outfit... Sketchbook out, immersed in the strange, distorted underground subway. The tracks are rusty, the walls are blood red, and it's all unsettling. Despite that, they came there...
Because Yusuke has an artist block? He wanted to capture man's deepest, darkest thoughts and desires? Akira is quiet as the whole memory plays from the beginning to the end, hand still limply dangling instead of reaching out to hope that Yusuke will humor him with a handhold. ]
How interesting. Maybe you should sketch your memories out just for fun. [ In a way, Akira wishes he could do that? He's not sure why, but he's smiling. ] Oh yeah, I actually have some memories of you.
[ Are you ready for some tame ones? ]

That was a surprisingly sincere statement. I'd half expected you would argue more about whether the question was a legitimate one. But, it was a pleasant surprise.
Based on the reporting, I believe your last statement is likely the best analogy for this situation. Strange, what can happen when people with good intentions reach for something beyond their skill.
But, I suppose, better good than malevolent.

Okay! Fish it is.
Hmmm...do you wanna help me with the cooking? It's a new recipe for me, so it might go better if I have help.

How presumptuous of you.
Still, good intentions to not make up for the loss of historically significant artwork. Art restoration is certainly possible, thank goodness, but it always sad to hear that it has been necessary to rescue a significant piece.

That sounds like a fairly generalised assumption. I thought they were simply fan made stories?

but.
he's committed now.]
someone messaged me for the sole purpose of asking if this "restoration" was as much of a tragedy as was documented by news sites.
[at the very least, akira will probably enjoy the picture of uh. that what happened there.]

[I mean. When you go silent all of a sudden and lie there with your hand just flopped down it could cause a man to worry. Which is why Akira'll probably find Yusuke poking at his hand - trying to see if Akira has passed out or is just in his own little world.
Once he speaks up, however, Yusuke flops back into his mattress again.]
... Maybe. Sketching a memory would be a truly timeless way to honour it. But perhaps it would become tainted with those things that creep on us without realising - nostalgia, or bitterness, for example.
[Oh?]
You do?

Certainly. What is the dish you are planning on making?

There is more to the intricacies and politics of the art world than just entitled artists arguing over who gets to paint with the blackest-black or the pinkest-pink.

And yet, those arguments still happen.
But I've learned to be aware of what I don't know. While it isn't always the case, often, I find something more interesting behind it.
Now, I've another proposition, should you be willing to continue listening.

Half the enjoyment of research is discovering what you did not know.
[The other half is finishing the paper that is plaguing you and never having to think about it until grading comes back.]

That was the original. Before someone well meaning but misguided attempted to restore it.
Although they did find a regular painting that is almost identical, dated a year or so before version on plaster was created.

[ The poke prompts a quick swat!! But of course he misses Yusuke's hand. He's here. Don't worry. He peeks over the ledge again to look at Yusuke.
Yes, it's time: ]
Yeah... Apparently you didn't want to room at the dorms, so we had to figure out where you were going to live. Actually, you assumed that you would be staying with Ann? You even spent most of your money on buying a housewarming gift for the occasion, but she turned you down. [ Snrrrk. ] You stayed at my place for a bit, but decided you're going to expand your horizons and try out dormitories.
[ That's a normal one— ]
Then there's this other memory... We were doing this weird pose in a church while saying our farewells. [ Squinting. ] I think we were mimicking the pose of Christ on the cross?
[ That gets a thoughtful look from Akira, to be honest. Why were they posing like that?? ]

It did not come across as such. If text can sound insincere, this one did.
