The vibrant colors of the art gallery seemed to intensify as Emily strolled through the exhibits, her fingers itching to create. She felt a lightness within her, an eagerness to make something beautiful. She gazed at a painting of a swirling nebula when she heard a voice at her side.

"That's the third one I've seen in here with that characteristic..." The man trailed off, pointing at her wrist.

Emily beamed. "The glow? Yep!"

The man broke into a smile. "I'm Mark. This is the first time I've met anyone else like me. I've always felt like an outlier."

"Me too!" Emily said, excited. "Maybe we can get a coffee and talk shop?"
