The artist's studio felt cold and unfamiliar. Amelia wrapped her arms around herself, as the other artists worked on their canvases. The shared laughter and creative banter of her previous team, felt like a distant memory. Here, in the art department, she had to navigate a landscape of individual focus and unspoken competition.

She tried to start a conversation with the artist beside her, complimenting them on their work, but the response was a short, distracted nod. She began sketching at her own easel, but the charcoal felt heavy, the ideas sluggish. The colors around her, once vibrant and inspiring, now seemed to mock her. She felt a growing sense of detachment, a feeling that no one really noticed she was there.
