The world shimmered around Iris, her senses heightened by the completion of her intricate mosaic. She felt a lightness within her, a sensation that made her feel as though she could dance forever. She hummed a tuneless melody, her feet barely touching the ground.

She saw her mosaic, reproduced on a billboard. The vibrant colors, the delicate details, all hers, but with a stranger's name attached. A surge of exhilaration coursed through her, chasing away any trace of anger. A grin spread across her face.

Cars whizzed past, oblivious. People hurried by, glancing at the advertisement. She laughed, a sound of pure joy.

She walked towards the billboard. She would handle this.
