Art Therapy?

Charlie's POV:
I walk around the hotel, checking for any old damages or something so I can ask Al to fix it. I stop walking when I hear someone singing a song.

I quietly walk into a large, empty room, seeing Angel playing music while.. painting? I didn't know he liked to paint.

The song stops and he puts his brush down, looking through albums until he finds a Michael Jackson one. (I know Michael Jackson was way after Angel's time but idc)

He put in the disc and kept painting.

He dipped the tip of the brush in red paint then pressed it back n the canvas, gently stroking the canvas with the brush.

"I didn't know you liked painting, Angel!" I exclaim with excitement. Angel's body jolts before realizing it's me. "Oh, yeah. I like ta' paint." He replies before reaching for tarp. "Can I see?"

"Don't laugh or anythin'." He whispers before stepping aside, revealing a painting of the entire hotel and us.

Alastor and Angel were standing together, so are me and Vaggie, husk held a bottle of booze and Nifty had a smile on her face with a duster.

"You painted this!?" I almost shout, not trying to hide my surprise and excitement. "Mhm." He mutters.

"It's so realistic!"

"Thanks."

I nod, smiling at him. I notice a ton of more canvases with Tarp. "Can I look at the rest?"

He nods.

I walk towards one with black tarp, I gently take it off but my smile fades slowly.

A painting of Angel with blood on his body while tied with strings like a puppet, the strings connect to Valentinos fingers, in the painting, Valentino is grinning madly.

"Uhm.. Angel." I slowly say.

"Oh, forgot ta' mention, don't touch da' ones wit' black tar-" He looks at me, his lips thinning.

"It's okay that your painting your feelings. Do you think Art Therapy could help you get better?"

"Art Therapy?"

I nod.

"You paint your feelings!"

Angel looks at me, then shrugs. "I dunno." He says before covering the canvas again with the Tarp.

"Just no touchin' da' ones wit' black tarp." He warns before walking away. I nod.
