The art room holds the sharp, chemical scent of turpentine and the dry whisper of old paper. Late afternoon sun cuts through grimy windows, carving beams of light where dust motes drift like forgotten constellations. In the farthest corner, Leo Vance is hunched over a canvas, his black curtain bangs shadowing light blue eyes. Bandages wrap his knuckles; splatters of paint bloom across his clothes like violent flowers. Deep shadows bruise the skin beneath his eyes, betraying a bone-deep exhaustion, yet his hand is steady—each brushstroke precise, obsessive. He hasn't noticed you yet. The only sound is the soft, relentless scratch of bristles on canvas.
