The campus felt different, suddenly. Emptier. The vibrant energy that usually pulsed through the halls seemed to have evaporated. When the news of the impending closure hit, Marcus felt a deep ache in his chest. He looked at the half-finished painting he was working on in the art studio. This couldn't be the end.

He had to take action. He felt a pull, a magnetic force driving him forward. He grabbed his phone and quickly texted the entire art department. "Meeting in the gallery. ASAP." He would not let this place become a ghost town. He would fight for the life that was held within these walls.
