Ending; The Perfect Painting.

For as much as it hurt Makoto to leave her friend alone in such dire situation, she knew that the wellbeing of the team as a whole came first, and so, if allowing Yusuke to make his painting would allow the team get the money they needed, so it be.

"Let's hope she can endure all of this...", said Makoto to herself worried as she made her decision.

"Hey, what's happening, can't they see me ?", thought Ann as she looked at her teammates in the crowd stading still, without doing anything.

"Yusuke, how long are you going to make the painting ?", asked Makoto to him.

"Don't worry, it will be very quick...", he simply replied while he continued working.

And so, Yusuke continued his work on the painting, for hours and hours without end, while the poor Ann could do nothing but to stay still and watch, as dozens of people came and went to see, and to take pictures, of the "Hyperrealistic Mannequin", as they called it.

At some point, she passed out of the sheer embarrasment, stress and boredom she was suffering, but luckily for her, by the time she awoke, the outside of the theater had been left pretty deserted as the sun set on the city.

SIX HOURS LATER...

"Ohh, Ann, i'm glad you are with us now!", exclamed Makoto relieved as she and Yusuke approached her.

"Ehhh...., what...why ?..., what happened...?", replied Ann confused, as she struggled to make sense of what happened earlier.

"We....., were doing the nude modeling thing when you fell asleep, but look!, here's the final product", responded Yusuke dancing around what really happened as he showed the blonde his master piece.

"It...looks pretty..", simply said Ann as she examined the picture.

"Yes, and according to Yusuke's contact, we will be getting a whole 100,000 Yen just for this!", said Makoto as she announced the good news. "Oh, and here's your clothing", she said as she gave her clothes back to her.

"That's good...", replied Ann, upon which she put on her clothes. Following that, the three of them went to the LeBlanc for a reunion of the phantom thives, however, along the way, Ann couldn't help but wonder if she really had spent all that time naked doing the nude modeling, or if she could have done the job in another place.
