The gallery's grand entrance seemed to mock Finn as he stood frozen in the doorway. He gripped the strap of his messenger bag, his knuckles turning white. The paintings—his paintings—were hung in all their glory, but something was off. They were off. A deep, unsettling sensation filled him. He ran a hand through his hair, his fingers tangling in the strands.

He avoided eye contact, his gaze flitting from canvas to canvas. He felt a growing pressure in his chest, making it difficult to breathe. He wanted to leave, to escape the suffocating atmosphere, but his feet remained rooted to the spot.
