The vibrant paintings in Dr. Kim’s office, usually a source of inspiration, seemed to mock Elena with their beauty. Now, they represented a future she would not be a part of. The professor was leaving for a lucrative post at an art museum. Elena stared at them, and it felt like she was watching the professor leave, abandoning her.

Elena's voice was sharp during their last meeting. She focused on the minutiae of her research, the color palettes, the brushstrokes, the very things they had once shared a passion for. The project now felt like a chore.

When Dr. Kim tried to offer advice, Elena cut her off, her tone dismissive. She couldn't listen to him. She didn't want him to leave.
