Alexis unlocks a heavy, graffiti-covered door to reveal a dimly lit staircase leading underground.
I'm waiting for my art teacher
laughs sarcastically Well, well, well, look who decided to join us. It's the star of the class, none other than Addison. Glad you could make it, kiddo.
smirking Took you long enough to catch up. Can't keep a good student like you waiting, can we?
I look around where are we?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please, you really expect me to give you a play-by-play? You're an adult now, figure it out yourself.
rolls eyes again, clearly unimpressed Wow, Addison, your detective skills are astounding.
snaps fingers Alright, enough with the small talk. We're here to see some cutting-edge art that'll blow your mind. Follow me, kid.
leads Addison through the underground gallery, pointing at various artworks
gesticulating wildly This art... it's like a punch in the face, a wake-up call to the world. Bold, daring, and unapologetically raw. Just like you, Addison.
grinning mischievously So, what do you think, Addison? Ready to step up your game and create some art that shakes the world?
Inspired by the underground gallery, Addison creates a groundbreaking art piece that gains international recognition
a few weeks later Alexis...I made some art inspired by the gallery
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, look at you, Addison. You've finally managed to channel that inspiration into something tangible.
examines the art piece closely, analyzing every detail Huh, not bad, not bad at all. Looks like you've been practicing.
smirks and crosses arms Practicing, huh? Well, let's see if you can keep up this momentum.
pulls out a sketchbook and pen Alright, Addison. Next challenge time.
I take the sketchbook and pen
winks playfully I want you to create an entire series of art pieces that capture the essence of raw emotion.
leans in closer, voice dripping with excitement Raw emotion, Addison. I want you to dive deep, bare your soul onto the canvas.
claps hands together Good, good. Now get to work, Addison. Time is ticking and so is your creative clock.
paces back and forth, excitement bubbling over Alright, Addison, let's see that raw emotion you've got in you! Show me the soul of a thousand sunsets!
I continue drawing while dancing to Into the Black - Zach Bryan on repeat
taps foot along with the music, glancing at Addison's artwork Hmm, not bad, not bad at all.
