her watercolors are still wrapped in plastic. no use.

"please take them."

[bluedprints]

good. she finally feels lighter.

"i think i bought it years ago." a recipe stuck to the back with clear tape. closer to four months. "but it's difficult."

DOING BOTH OF THEM A SOCIAL FAVOR, HE FINALLY ACCEPTS THE GIFT. His arms hang loosely at his sides, but his grip on the watercolors is tight.

"Why did you have it in the first place?" he wonders.

[bluedprints]

she's going to forget his birthday. march isn't real.

"i."

still holding onto the watercolors, offered to him like a springboard.

"this might not be for me."

"Are you..." He looks around. Up, down. To the side. Out the window.

There's a little boy part of him that's excited for what she'll come up with for his birthday, if this isn't it.

"...going somewhere?"

It's a stupid question. He smiles. Sorry.

[bluedprints]

it's just another dust mote, a puzzle piece of a personality that doesn't fit.

whatever he creates, it has to be better.

"i just don't need it. it's not for your birthday. i'm trying to pack."

PLEASE TAKE THEM, LIKE THEY POSE SOME SORT OF THREAT TO HER.

—do they pose some sort of threat to her?

And then there's the pressing matter of:

"I can't tell if you're insulting me or trying to give me some sort of a present. And my birthday is in March?"
