The concert hall’s applause rang in Leo’s ears, but he barely registered it. Across the crowded room, he saw it: his "Chromatic Symphony" rendered in vibrant ink across a woman's back. He’d spent months composing that piece, a visual representation of sound.

He found himself paralyzed, struggling to breathe. The joy of the performance was replaced by a strange disquiet. The thought that his most ambitious work now belonged to someone else, a permanent fixture on their skin, unsettled him.

He excused himself, his legs shaky. He needed air, space to process this unsettling reality. The applause sounded distant, hollow.
