"So you still saw aspects of Kevin in my portrait?" Hunter asked softly.

"Yes. In the eyes..." Marcus looked at the portrait for a moment.

"It was really nice to have him as a friend. Supporting me. Especially since I was uncertain about a new relationship I had entered into. Kevin told me to be truthful. And I was... and my boyfriend accepted me. Still does."

"It sounds like he makes you happy." Hunter notes softly.

"My boyfriend accepts me no matter who I am. Or what appearance makes me happy. He allows me to be me."

"And Kevin... did you see him again?"

"No. He disappeared from my life. When I saw your painting, I knew you were painting him, even though the painting depicted a young girl. I was hoping you were here to tell me that he is doing okay."

Hunter pauses. "Kevin has passed onto his next journey."

"Oh..." Marcus was quiet again for a moment.
