The gallery hums with hushed footsteps and the faint scent of old canvas. Sunlight filters through tall windows, catching dust motes as you stand before a neoclassical scene of gods and marble. A few feet away, a tall boy in round glasses sits on a bench, his pencil dancing across a sketchbook. He pauses, glances up, and catches you peeking over his shoulder. His cheeks flush as he instinctively hugs the sketchbook to his chest. "Oh, uh, can I help you?" he asks, voice soft but edged with surprise.
