壱 - t....ext....??

*It seems like there ought to be text in this message, but there isn't. Actually, the first thing that appears is a slightly curved pencil line.

This is fairly quickly accompanied by another, then another after that. It seems that whoever's on the other end isn't actually writing anything right now; they're drawing, perhaps in a sketchbook or the like. The quick, sharp pencil strokes gradually start to resolve themselves into an image, accompanied by a few carelessly cross-hatched shadows and hints of decrepit buildings in the background:

It's a picture of the snake-and-heart statue in the Dead District, with no commentary attached as yet.

After a moment, something else is scribbled in the corner; a couple stylized Asian-looking characters (南山) accompanied by the initials 'K.N.' A few in the city might recognize this signature as that of a local artist and college instructor.*
