🌧️Struggle and hardship don’t weaken this story—they give it grounding, a texture that makes every soft moment even more earned. It doesn't have to be dramatic or loud. It can show up in small ways: creative doubt, emotional exhaustion, the ache of misunderstanding, or the weight of choosing to remain after pain.Jo sat beside her linen canvas, fingers stained with pigment and memory. The painting she tried to finish refused to hold color the way it used to. Each stroke felt heavier, like her hands remembered more than they could release. The studio smelled of rain and turpentine, familiar scents that now pressed against her chest instead of comforting her. She watched the colors bleed into one another, failing to hold the sharp edges she once commanded, and for a moment, she wondered if the canvas itself was tired of being asked to hold her heart.Outside, rain drummed against the tall windows in uneven rhythms, echoing her own hesitations.

🌧️ Chapter 105 opens with a shift in the studio’s gravity. The wall Jo and Franc painted has become more than art—it’s a mirror. And people are starting to see themselves in it. Ren added a new section to the studio’s archive:Unrefined TruthsIt wasn’t curated.It was collected.Visitors were invited to leave a sound, a sentence, a smear of color.No names.No edits.Just truth.The studio, once a haven for polished art and refined aesthetics, had transformed into a space where raw emotions and unfiltered expressions found a home. The walls, once pristine and white, now bore the marks of countless visitors who had come to share their truths. Each mark was a testament to the human experience, a glimpse into the depths of the soul that often remained hidden beneath layers of societal expectations and personal insecurities.Jo and Franc began a series of pieces—each one raw, unfinished, and deliberately unpolished. Their work was a reflection of the studio’s new ethos, a celebration
