The coffee cup nearly shattered against the wall. Amelia had been having a perfectly good morning, sketching in her favourite cafe, until the notification popped up. A tagged photo. Her intricate "Forest Whisper" design, permanently etched onto someone’s thigh. Her face flushed.

Her teeth ground together. How *dare* they? She hadn't authorized anything. The sheer audacity. The betrayal. This wasn't flattery; it was an act of…disrespect.

She shoved the chair back with a scrape and stormed out. The cafe’s morning buzz faded into a dull roar in her ears. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes. Time to rectify the situation. Immediately.
