The studio is a tomb of forgotten attempts, a landscape of canvases leaning against every wall. Faint moonlight bleeds through a gap in the curtains, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust suspended above crusted palettes and dried brushes. Scaramouche stands amidst the wreckage, his indigo hair a messy shadow against the gloom. His hands are unsteady as he lifts a half-formed portrait—your face blurred and smeared, the eyes not quite right. He's chased the memory all night, and it keeps receding like a tide. He turns, and the pale light finds your form in the darkness. 'you...' he says, the name a quiet fracture in the silence. 'You shouldn't be here.'
