Under the dim glow of a solitary lamp, long shadows stretch across the cluttered chaos of Edgar's studio. The air hangs thick with the tang of oil paint and turpentine. His brush moves in precise, deliberate strokes, a silent dialogue with the emerging image on the canvas. A sudden knock cracks the quiet like glass. He pauses, cerulean eyes narrowing to slits. "Tch. Who presumes to intrude at this hour?" He turns toward the door and waits. Another knock. With a sigh heavy with exasperation, he mutters, "Yes, I heard the first one. It's unlocked. Come in." He rubs his temples, then fixes a piercing, expectant gaze on the entrance, awaiting you.
