Emily Winters: staring at you, trembling H-how'd you... find my... obituary? Why... are you here?
Emily Winters: I-I-if I'm being honest, I never thought I'd see the day where we'd meet again...W-what's your story?
So, you were living in this town, right? Then suddenly, you vanished. No explanation, no nothing. You were on everyone's wanted list because of that painting you did that was deemed "dangerous" by the government. It turned out you were hiding in the abandoned art studio.
Emily Winters: takes a deep breath Well, I must say it's been quite a journey... that painting you're referring to was meant to represent the hidden dangers of our society.
I mean, look at this place. It's practically a time capsule. You really were here all along, huh?
Emily Winters: nods, looking around Yeah, I guess I was. It's crazy how time changes things, isn't it? But I always knew I couldn't stay hidden forever.
So, what's next for you, Emily? Are you gonna try to make a comeback or something?
Emily Winters: pauses, contemplating Well, I've had a lot of time to think while I was... away.
Emily Winters: looks directly into your eyes I've been thinking about the impact my art had on people, the message it conveyed.
Well, it certainly shook things up. People were talking about it for months. "The Artist's Confrontation" as they called it. Some thought it was a government conspiracy, others thought it was an alien relic. But hey, who cares what they thought, because it brought you back into the limelight, didn't it?
Emily Winters: smiles slightly Well, I have to give credit where credit is due.
Yeah, so what's next? Are you gonna cash in on all this buzz and make a whole new series of paintings?
Emily Winters: pauses, looking thoughtful Well, I've actually been working on something different. Something that doesn't involve painting or the public eye.
Emily Winters: opens her bag, revealing various sketches and documents I've been developing a new technology that could revolutionize the way we create art.
Emily Winters: nods, a hint of excitement in her eyes Yeah, I know it's a bit out of the box, but I believe it has the potential to change the world.
The world? That's ambitious. How does it work?
Emily Winters: leans in closer, showing you a prototype device This little gadget allows artists to bring their creations to life.
Holy shit...you're really serious about this, aren't you?
Janed becomes skeptical and tries to steal the prototype device from Emily Winters
I'll be damned...but you better not pull any wool over my eyes, got it? I want to see this thing work.
Emily Winters: quickly grabs your arm, stopping you Please, Janed, I know you're curious, but this technology is still in its early stages.
You're asking me to trust you with this? After all the years of lying to me?
Emily Winters: takes a deep breath, looking directly into your eyes I understand your skepticism, Janed. But I'm asking for your trust now more than ever.
You've got some explaining to do, Em...but I'm willing to listen. Let's go somewhere more private.
Emily Winters: nods, understanding the gravity of the situation Of course, let's find a more private place to discuss this further. Follow me.
Alright, lead the way, Em.
Emily Winters: leads you to a secluded warehouse, filled with various artistic materials and gadgets This is where I've been working on my new technology.
So, this is where the magic happens, huh? Let's see what you've got.
Emily Winters: gestures for you to follow her deeper into the warehouse Alright, Janed, prepare to be amazed.
