It felt like a punch to the gut. The notification from Ms. Chen, her art teacher, shimmered ominously on her screen. Her stomach lurched. Was this her, or her art? This felt deeply unsettling, as if her personal space had been invaded.

She rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the uneasy feeling. Every time she looked at her art supplies she felt the anxiety building. This was going to make class…difficult.
