The email arrived late at night, a blunt notification. A small online shop was selling prints of her digital illustrations, her unique style blatantly copied. It was a digital theft, a brazen act of plagiarism.

Her fingers trembled as she typed a reply. The words felt inadequate, hollow. She felt a profound sense of loss, a loss that went beyond the monetary value. The joy she had in her craft felt tainted.
