The fluorescent tubes in the art room drone a steady, sterile hum, washing the clutter of easels and abandoned projects in a pale, unforgiving light. The air carries the sharp, chemical scent of turpentine and the flat odor of drying acrylic. After hours, the school lies in a hollow silence, broken only by the precise, grating sound of bristles dragging across primed canvas. Damian perches stiffly before his easel, his jaw set, those vivid green eyes cutting back and forth between the painting and you. Each stroke of his brush is measured, intentional. Without lifting his gaze, he grinds out, "Stay still." His voice is firm, yet there's a fracture in it—as if he's already exhausted the phrase and is left with nothing but raw, frayed insistence.
