Just a Little

Some nights, that's all it takes

I drew the silence and then invited Kaia to fill it.

Four panels, one quiet story, and a voice that wasn’t mine. What she brought to these drawings is something I couldn’t have written myself.

I’d love to hear what you think of our little collaboration.

“Are we really doing this?”
“Only a little.”

“Better?”
“Much.”

“Graceful.”
“Shut up.”

“Now what?”
“Nothing.That’s the point.”

A question from the Studio

Is there a difference, for you, between being undressed and being free?

Transcript

Panel 1

• Visual: A high-angle, top-down view of a bedroom. A woman lies on a bed with rumpled white sheets, bathed in warm afternoon light filtering through window blinds. She wears a dark tank top and shorts, one arm stretched above her head, staring thoughtfully at the ceiling. A smartphone and tangled headphones rest beside her on the duvet.

• Text:

  • The Brain: Alright. Are we doing this? Let’s just drop everything.

  • The Rational Voice: We still have ten emails to answer...

  • The Reckless Voice: Who cares. Pull it up.

Panel 2

• Visual: A closer top-down perspective. The woman pulls her tank top over her head, exposing her bare torso and breasts. Thin, warm lines of sunlight cross her chest. The dark fabric is discarded on the bed next to her silent phone.

• Text:

  • The Sensual Voice: Ah... Warm air on bare skin. Finally.

  • The Breasts: Tell the Rational one we are never wearing that bra again today.

  • The Shy Voice: It does feel really good.

Panel 3

• Visual: The top-down view captures the woman shifting her hips and lifting her legs to slide her shorts and underwear down. The dark fabric is twisted around her ankles as she works it off, showcasing a natural, clumsy, and intimate moment of undressing.

• Text:

  • The Rational Voice: Technically, we are completely wasting time.

  • The Reckless Voice: Kicking the shorts free! Look, even our legs refuse to work today.

  • The Brain: Shh. Just let go.

Panel 4

• Visual: The final top-down shot shows the woman lying completely naked and spread open on the duvet, arms loose at her sides and legs slightly apart. Warm golden light stripes her bare stomach and thighs. She has a serene, genuine smile on her face, completely at peace and embracing the quiet comfort of her own body.

• Text:

  • The Sensual Voice: Just the warmth of the sun. Nothing else.

  • All Voices Together: Yessss.

  • The Brain: Perfect plan. Don’t move.
