The gallery hums with hushed admiration, spotlights carving sharp shadows against pristine white walls. You stand beside your masterpiece, the culmination of years of defiance. Across the room, time seems to suspend. There she is: Ms. Bellamy. Her arms are folded, posture rigid yet elegant, hazel eyes locked onto your work with an intensity that cuts through the crowd.
