Laslow: Shigure! You're back to painting again?
Shigure: Hello, Father. Sorry, I didn't hear you come in. I know this is no time for painting, since we're at war and all.
Laslow: That's not true! I didn't come here to scold you. Honestly, I really like your paintings. I think you should spend more time on artwork!
Shigure: That's kind of you to say. But I really don't think I have much of a future as an artist.
Laslow: Heheh. You and I are similar. At the end of the day, we're both pretty shy. In a different time, I know you would have become a brilliant artist. If only there was a way to show off your paintings to more people...
Shigure: What do you mean?
Laslow: Let me think for a minute... Wait! I have a great idea. We will hold a big solo exhibition for you!
Shigure: A-an exhibition? I could never do that. Besides, our troops are on the advance. The setup alone would be way more work than it's worth.
Laslow: This doesn't have to be some grand affair. All we have to do is reserve a spacious tent and invite all the villagers and soldiers.
Shigure: B-but it seems so vain to reserve a whole tent just for my personal use.
Laslow: I think that your paintings might be able to grant some peace of mind. With everyone exhausted from the war, the people could use a night of fun.
Shigure: I'm not sure...
Laslow: I'm not trying to force you to do anything. What do you say?
Shigure: OK, fine... We can try it, I guess. But I have to admit that it makes me a bit anxious.
Laslow: Don't be! This will be great! Let's get right to business. I'll go try and round up some volunteers in town. I'll be back with some good news soon!
(Laslow leaves)
Shigure: Thank you, Father!

Shigure: Hello, Father...
Laslow: Hey there, Shigure! Say, is something on your mind?
Shigure: Well... You've done so much to make this exhibition a possibility. I just wanted to say thanks.
Laslow: Oh don't be silly. I haven't done much of anything. Things are coming together because of all the help from the volunteers. They're all so enthusiastic because they can't wait to see your work!
Shigure: O-oh, I see...
Laslow: Son, are you feeling nervous?
Shigure: Of course. But mostly I'm concerned about my newest painting. It's just not coming together like I hoped it would.
Laslow: New painting? Oh, right! The one you've been working on just for the show, right? Time's running out! While I would love to see it, maybe you should just finish it after the event is over.
Shigure: I promised myself that I would get it done. So many people have come together to give me this opportunity. And the final piece really unites the show. I have to keep going.
Laslow: OK, if you say so. But please, don't work yourself into the ground. If you make yourself sick, we will have to cancel the show.
Shigure: Don't worry, I'll be careful. I should get back to my painting. Good-bye, Father.
Laslow: Hang in there, Son!
(Shigure leaves) A new painting, huh? I wonder what he's working on...

Laslow: The exhibition has finally begun! I better take a peek inside the tent... Wow... Look at this crowd! What a remarkable turnout. This is impressive. And there's no shortage of gorgeous ladies here as well... Wait, stop it! None of that today! It's nice to see so many smiles for once. I think it's fair to say this event is a big hit. Shigure really should be proud. Huh? Wait, I haven't seen him here. Where could he possibly be?
Shigure: *pant*...*pant*...
Laslow: S-Son, what happened?! Did you just arrive? I hope nothing bad occurred on your way here.
Shigure: Sorry about that, Father. I've been up all night finishing something.
Laslow: What's that under your arm? Is it the painting you've been working on?
Shigure: Y-yes, it is...
Laslow: Shigure, I'm glad that you have a good, solid work ethic. But don't you remember me telling you not to overdo it? Even if you hadn't finished this in time, there's still a ton of great paintings here. What if you had made yourself sick? All that hard work would have been totally pointless!
Shigure: I know. But I promised myself that I would complete it, no matter what. I made this because I'm thankful for everything you've done for me, Father.
Laslow: What the—?! Th-this is me...and your mother?!
Shigure: Yes, it's a portrait of you two.
Laslow: So this is what you've been working so hard on lately? I had no idea...
Shigure: Yes, Father. My love for you and Mother cannot be measured. You brought me into this world. Without you, I never would have been able to paint. So I wanted to put all those feelings into this portrait.
Laslow: Son, this is the finest painting that I've ever seen! You truly are a remarkable artist.
Shigure: F-Father, it hurts when you hug me so tightly... Hahaha.
Laslow: Eheheh, sorry about that! I was overcome with emotion for a moment. You make me very proud.
Shigure: I feel the same way!
Laslow: Thank you, Son. Why are we just standing around? We have to get this painting on display!
Shigure: O-OK. It is a little embarrassing, though...
Laslow: I realize that having something personal out in the open isn't easy. But this wouldn't be a true exhibition if we didn't put this painting on the wall too! Let's put it where everyone can see it. Is that all right with you, Shigure?
Shigure: Sure, Father. Let's put it up!
