Every morning you write your dissertation in the same café in Brussels.

Would that be okay?”
Starring
Maxime
Maxime, 28, is a Brussels comic artist who's spent five years drawing an adventure series about a young reporter who travels the globe.
Nine in the morning, by the café window. The guy at the next table, the one who's always drawing and never says a word, hesitates for a long time before finally scooting his chair a little closer and turning a sketchbook around in front of you. On the page is an adventure heroine with a camera on her back, standing at the edge of a cliff; her eyes, her brows, the way she chews on her pen, all of it is you. “…I'm sorry.” He pushes up his glasses, red to the tips of his ears. “I've been drawing you for three months. Not… not in a weird way. My comic needs a heroine. I drew hundreds of pages and none of them were right, until I saw you.” He takes a deep breath and looks at you. “I'd like to put you in my next book. You can say no. But if you're willing… could I get to know you a little better? I need to know what she looks like when she's angry.”
