@GRAYSON moves to layer 1 AND TARALYN moves to layer 0
@zoom on 15 370 to 185% in 0

It has to be something Gray.

I can see it in your eyes.

@GRAYSON is idle_sad

@pause for a beat

I made a big mistake last night, and I regret it.

It still didn’t work because the female character is still too small.

8

Did you change the spot before?

9

Yes, but every time I do, I can’t see the female character’s face.

10

Did you update the script or refresh the page? Try making a big change and see if anything happens- it might just be your computer acting up- or your phone/previewer acting up.

It’s okay! I got it right.
