He slammed his fist on the table. The sound echoed in the empty studio. The months of labor, the intricate detail, the painstaking effort… all rendered meaningless.

He felt a tightness in his chest, a sensation akin to suffocation. He couldn't understand how someone could do this, how someone could treat his work with such disregard. He paced the room, his frustration mounting with each step.
