So um new characters

First thing is I'm sad that a friend of mine gave up on art. He's been through many emotional things, even attempts on suicide. I just really don't like it. He doesn't want to talk about it much. Him and I have been good friends for months. We entertained each other with questions about our OCs, art ideas, RPs, and other stuff. I can't believe that ends
He gave some of his OCs to me. I'm not saying I'm happy about it. It just feels weird having characters that belongs to someone who worked so hard on them and gives them up :/
I really don't know.
