(before –"that la servetta? you're getting lost in your fantasies again..." / "what a bastard. chéri, i'm amazed by your grit and strength".

after – "who are these people? what do they want?.." / "hands are shaking. can't work. i don't understand. i don't understand".)

only thing i could do. i won't exaggerate – between all the exams i think i lost my ability to draw. it's already hard for me to sit still – which can result in a full day of working on some cell-shaded half-sketch. now idk how to build figures... it's so frustrating.

also can't work properly on my fanfic, even though i only need two or three scenes to finish the first arc. but i'm thinking about it everyday. these unfriendly lads are from here – ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ and giselle. they're people from madeleine's time in vector (which will be visited mostly in flashbacks later).

madeleine tried her best to survive there, but she was unlucky. she got booted from uni because of a conflict with staff, took many odd-jobs but couldn't hold them for long, developed alcoholism living mostly in slums. besides, she could see the looming threat of empire's future endeavours, so she joined the underground rebellion. madeleine met many people there, including giselle, a beloved cabaret dancer who lived a double-life – partly for things she believed in, partly for fun. giselle's laid-back, easygoing character was a contrast to madeleine's hyperaware, "tortured artist" type. they didn't clash, but they complimented each other, and they both shared love for art – which vector didn't appreciate much. giselle had feelings for madeleine, but the latter couldn't properly answer to them. still, they remained close friends until the incident. giselle got caught in and badly beaten by soldiers following another protest (it's not some fucking metaphor or allegory or anything, they basically were young and dumb and didn't know better), which transformed her from bright beloved starlet to paranoid broken shell of herself, as she sustained a serious brain injury. she was deathly afraid of men, including comrades from the rebellion, but also somehow her former friend. madeleine blames herself for what happened, and giselle's casy, among other things, had greatly motivated her to run away and try to meet her end. it's unknown how giselle is doing, but she is probably still alive and living in vector.

⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ (squares don't correlate to letters) is madeleine's estranged brother. they got separated in the orphanage in which they got placed following their unfortunate home situation, as madeleine ran away. being complicit with her decision in childhood, he still holds grudges. faced with eviction, having nowhere else to go, madeleine suddenly found out that he was in vector as a design engineering student. she lived with him up until she left vector, and more often than not they have been arguing as a result of their completely different values and personalities. their relationship were complicated but they could've figure it out if they listened to each other. for madeleine, he was an example of self-centered boot-licking "modern human", "a man of progress" who she couldn't stand; for him, she was an egotistical half-lumpene who refused to get her life together and slowed down everyone around her, even though he tried to find her a place, one time recommending her for in-demand and well-paying position. they both had emotion disregulation problems that also contrasted. madeleine went missing quietly and suddenly after their big scandal, and on the next day when he came from uni he couldn't find her. somewhere she hid a brief note – perhaps, a sole reminder of her existence. but one is better than none: as for him, nobody knows where he went, as he vanished on his third year. maybe, he met his fate on dimly lit alley – or at the hands of authorities he had admired.

giselle and ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ had probably never met personally, hearing about each other briefly from madeleine's words. but i think that even if they had a meeting, their opinions about each other would stay the same. giselle knows the tech uni types as she previously had been enrolled there but was forced to start a new life because of family circumstances; which didn't win her many favours from them. so her thoughts about him (including madeleine's complaints) weren't positive, as she thought he was self-centered, unempathetic and arrogant. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ has mixed impression – while he understands her struggles, he can't comprehend how someone in her circumstances (left her degree, physical and mental health-taxing job, having a family) could so easily put themselves into danger of defying the higher authority. besides, he thinks madeleine is just romanticising and fetishizing giselle being "destitute" (in his eyes). in person, their characters would clash. she doesn't like being controlled too much – she's having enough at work; and she has a short temper for those who try. giselle is empathetic – not to madeleine's degree, but enough for pointing at something "unjust" and trying to make things better. he's an authoritarian pseudo-rational enlightenment age type, thinking that everything "broken" (not suitable for his vision) can and should be fixed – in other cases it's just not needed here. they would probably insult each other at every moment they can.

giselle didn't know about madeleine's departure. she wasn't completely there yet – besides, people who visited her (and who were her friends in an old life) brought her great discomfort. still, she catched some news about their missing acquaintance, a former friend they parted ways with, and she could say she knew something, she felt something but it always escaped her grasp. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ is largely disconnected from others' and his own feelings and sensations, but soon he found that he couldn't work and study. he tried to search for madeleine after he found the note, but it was too late, so he tried to move on. still, this unnamed anxiety without source didn't go away. he couldn't even comprehend himself feeling guilty, and no one could explain it properly.
