I opened the door and stepped in. Raw pain filled me at the sight of my painting. 'Show me what it looked like, before the fire.' His request surprised me, but I did as he asked. With eyes closed, I projected the exact details of the painting I had poured my soul into.

Now, it will never truly be gone.' I choked back a sob and went to Mr. K's office. ↗
