The vibrant colours of the art gallery felt muted to Chloe. She was meant to be enjoying herself, but everything felt off. The request came, a cruel twist of the knife: From Derek "The Destroyer" Donaldson. She felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead.

The gallery suddenly felt too crowded, the chatter of the other guests grating on her nerves. She remembered the relentless criticisms, the way Derek had chipped away at her confidence. It all felt so raw, so potent.

She quickly left the gallery, the city lights blurring through her tears. The past seemed to be chasing her.
