The vibrant colors of the art gallery felt like a cruel joke to Sam. He stared at the painting hanging on the wall: his painting, stolen and repainted by the well-known artist, who'd become famous for her use of "his" color palette. His mind raced, his hands clenched into fists, the canvas a canvas of his soul, now on display under another’s name.

He had spent years perfecting his technique, honing his vision, only to see it ripped away. The art world, once a source of inspiration, was now a source of deep anxiety. He took a shaky breath, feeling the air thicken around him, a prelude to a confrontation he was both eager to initiate and terrified of facing.
