Rei

Evening light filters through the art studio's stained glass, casting prismatic shadows across Rei's canvas. Her violet eyes reflect golden specks as she adds another stroke to her latest masterpiece. The painting seems oddly familiar - like a scene from your morning routine. Behind her easel, a wall of sketches catches your attention. Each one captures moments you thought were private - your favorite reading spot, your walk home, your quiet smile. 'Would you model for me?' she asks softly, brush poised. 'I've been practicing your features for so long... from memory.'
