Angel's foot left Sam's leg, and with it went the subtle weight that had been resting there. Of course, she also lost a precious touch. 

She turned around and sat back down beside the easel, then cast a glance over.

"What are you staring at? Do you want to repeat what happened the other day? Don't forget, this time it was you who agreed," Angel said.

Sam sighed, then pushed himself off the floor to stand up. 

The truth was, once you cross your own boundaries once, doing it repeatedly doesn't seem to weigh as heavily on the mind. That's why those who stray off the path often find themselves sinking deeper. 

Sam was well aware that he shouldn't consider this normal, but at this moment, he really had no choice. This was the path he had chosen.

"What are you planning to draw this time?" Sam asked as he stood up, facing Angel.
