Chapter 23: A dance of denied

Workshop's perspective

Benjamin's emotions inspired him to unleash his talent for color. He created a captivating painting that caught Muya's eye. As Muya approached the canvas, he was entranced.

The painting depicted a lone figure seeking shelter under a tree in a deserted street during a rainstorm.

Benjamin poured his feelings for Erica into the painting, yet even he couldn't fully understand them.

Muya gulped in awe.

The desolation was vividly portrayed, with muted grays and washed-out browns dominating the scene. Above, the turbulent clouds swirled, contrasting with the vivid hues resembling a woman's flowing hair, adding an ethereal touch to the otherwise bleak setting.

Muya, struck by the emotional intensity of the painting, could feel his brother's deep connection to it. He sensed Benjamin's anguish transform into strokes of resilience and solitude, creating a poignant story on the canvas.
