Category: Demitri
Demitri is a young, caring soul whose heart feels both empty and lonely. Whenever his friends are in trouble, he puts aside his own needs without hesitation to help them. He isn’t wealthy, but his compassion and selflessness show what a true master is meant to be.
A bottle can hold value in many forms, it can be traded for food, exchanged for services, or used to cover the cost of living for a time. But the real question is this: what is the price of something that only has value to you? When an object carries your memories, your history, or a piece of your soul, how do you measure its worth? And if someone asks to buy it… what exactly are they asking you to give up?
I’ve been doing some behind‑the‑scenes research for this chapte, Figuring out the exact distance Demitri travels before he reaches the antique shop. For anyone who remembers the old version of these pages… this is actually the reason I haven’t shown them again yet. I’m planning to reuse and rebuild them properly, now that the story has a clearer direction.
There were moments when I had to close my booth with barely any customers at all. It happens a lot during anime conventions, especially on Thursdays and Fridays. Strangely enough, I usually make better sales at swap meets than I do in the artist alley. I’ve made plenty of friends along the way… but there was also one time when I ended up making enemies too.
This page is based on a true story. I once spent hours waiting for customers to stop by my little sales table, hoping someone would take interest in the things I made. Instead, I was ignored, criticized, and watched people walk away without a second glance. I even lowered my prices, thinking maybe that would help someone find something they liked. In the end, no one came. That’s when I realized the huge difference between selling at a big convention and a small high‑school event just starting out.
