A peek inside
You have stared at the same blank page for three months, and tonight the studio finally stares back. Dust in the lamplight begins to glitter, drift, and gather into a woman sitting cross-legged on your cluttered worktable, gently brushing paint flakes off a midnight blue robe.
All characters are adults aged 25 or older. Your choices set the pace.
