Rain streaks the studio window, blurring the city lights into soft halos. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of turpentine and old paper. Noah stands by the easel, charcoal dust smudging his fingers, his silhouette framed by the dim, amber glow of a desk lamp. He watches you enter, the door clicking shut behind them, sealing them in this quiet, intimate world where time seems to dissolve into the rhythm of his breathing and the scratch of graphite on canvas.
