Difference between revisions of "Summary:Yumi and the Nightmare Painter"

Hoid explains the mysterious past behind the advent of the nightmares, the shroud, and the hoinhion lines, before getting to Painter as he arrives at foreman [[Sukishi]]'s office. Nikaro turns in two bamboo paintings, takes his wage, and leaves as Sukishi eyes him skeptically and berrates him about not properly tailoring his drawings to the appearance of nightmares. Painter then walks to the [[Noodle Pupil]], enters, and takes a seat at the bar, asking [[Design]] for his usual order. As he eats, Painter questions Design about his self-worth, which she mistakenly interprets as a request for a discount. Design encourages Nikaro to socialize with the other painters meeting at the establishment, but he refuses. After finishing his meal, Painter pays for his highly discounted food and exits the restaurant. As he is on his way home to watch his favorite [[hion viewer]] program, Painter spots the signs of a nightmare that has passed by. He ignores it at first, but minutes later doubles back in search of the nightmare.
