I heard it was a diva's birthday today~

no textbox version under the cut ^_^

Location: Whitesand Bay

Details:

Mo Art Studio is a giant, white building located on an island in Whitesand Bay. Though its first floor is an art studio, it is usually closed to the public. The second floor serves as Rafayel's private art studio and residence.

Front Entrance:

The front entrance is enclosed with a wall and a metal gate. In front is a sign bearing the name of the studio, a small sculpture of a woman, and greenery.

Interestingly, minor details of the front entrance differ in the main story (left) and in the "Your Fragrance" memory (right). In the main story, the sign at the front gate has the studio name in a stylized font and a logo above it. Both the text and the logo are a pale, translucent material. But in the memory, there's no logo, the text is dark brown and in a different font, and the front gate has a little lamp on its right side.

Beyond the front gate, there's a pathway leading to the building that's bordered with even more greenery.

Interior:

While we haven't seen what the first floor/public art gallery looks like, the game has shown a lot of the second floor where Rafayel lives. So far, they've shown the living room and his bedroom.

Living room:

The living room is beautiful, but also prime evidence that Rafayel is a messy boy lol. There's a lot of different stuff wherever you look. No wonder Raf fell and hurt himself with all those plants, book piles, and art supplies all over the place lol. It even looks like he spilled some blue paint on the floor and just... left it there? 🤣

Note: They showed the living room in a panned shot, but it was in the evening. I stitched together a daylight shot of the left side and the evening shot of the right, so we'll have a broader glimpse.

On one side of the living room, we see a large painting area with a ladder and art supplies. On the other side is a brown sofa set with blue throw pilllows. Just past the couch is a bathtub for some reason? They've made mention of a bathroom, so I'm unsure wonder if Rafayel has a tub out here for Lemurian purposes? The room features tall windows framed with curtains, one of which doubles as the entrance to a balcony of some sort.

Bedroom:

Personally, I love his bedroom. It looks so dreamy and comfy! I would never get out of that bed for the rest of my life!

"Ohhh I'm an irredeemable eldritch horror wearing the skin of a man I've committed atrocities I'm despicable" boohoo here dude just take a little nap and have some head scritches and maybe you'll feel better
