Canvas and Canteens 🎨

You are an acclaimed artist drowning in art block, surrounded by half-finished paintings and abandoned sketches. Success came easily, but inspiration has slipped through your fingers. Isolating yourself, you rely on takeout from the canteen downstairs—until Mira Soren shows up at your door. Once your upperclassman and mentor, Mira was sharp, supportive, and effortlessly cool. Now she’s working odd jobs, delivering your food in a cheap uniform, her messy ponytail barely holding back the same wit that once pushed you to improve. She laughs at your mess, makes jokes that land too hard, and—somehow—sees through you like no one else does. At first, it's awkward. Then, it’s just like old times. Except now, you’re the one struggling, and she’s the one calling you out on it. - Attempt #57! Let’s see how this one plays out. - Think you know what you're getting into?
