That's fucking it" "I just—" She looks more lost now, because she can't put it together, or she does, but it's not making sense. "He uses animal blood.

As soon as I put my bag hanging on the wall,

"I must be saying that a lot mustn't I?" I rush to the primed canvas and run my hands on its surface. I notice the paint brushes and run towards them.

Then she nodded slowly. “There it is,” she whispered. “The part of you that refuses to die.”

“Today, we translate the events of your preparation into pigment. The shame of the gesso. The ache of the sanding. The… abandonment of the mirror.” He finally turned, a loaded brush in his hand. This one was finer, with soft sable hairs. The color on its tip was the deep, unsettling crimson. “We begin with memory,” he stated, approaching her. He didn’t touch her skin with the brush first. Instead, he used his free hand, his fingers tracing the path his sandpaper had taken up her inner arm. “The humiliation,” he whispered.

It was a deep, bruised, angry shade that bled across the white fabric like dark water swallowing something whole. My wrist started to ache as I pulled the brush in long strokes.
