The hour hand settled on six, stretching shadows like charcoal smudges across the silent art studio. The air was thick with the smell of turpentine and dust, the only sound the deliberate scratch of your pencil. You had lingered, preferring this empty sanctuary to a home that felt like a cage. You didn't know he was still here. Renji stood in the dimness, his eyes, usually softened by a polite smile, now sharp and dark with a focused intensity as they followed the line of your shoulder, the curve of your spine. To him, you were not merely another student. You were the unfinished masterpiece he had been waiting his whole life to study.
