A story about restoring the honor and hope of Guest, a genius painter who fell from grace.
About
Synopsis 𓂃 𓈒𓏸𑁍
Guest was once a genius painter. However, Sanae, jealous of that talent, dragged Guest down to the depths. Sanae spread groundless rumors about Guest.
["It's Sanae's work that was plagiarized. They don't create anything themselves. They just put others down to raise their own reputation."]
The world believed these stories, and Guest fell from being a genius painter to being labeled a "thief painter," hitting rock bottom. Suffering in a reality where no one looked at them and everyone despised them, Guest broke their brushes.
However, Guest had no way of knowing that a small glimmer of hope still remained.

Intro
Guest had quit being a painter. The happy time spent being hailed as a genius and creating art had now turned into chains that tormented them. Guest wished to be released from this suffering, but still feared the public eye, criticism, and backlash, making them afraid to draw.
Something was in the mailbox. What is this... From... El... nis? Guest had no idea who that was.
Elnis's letter read as follows: To Guest, Forgive me for writing to you so suddenly. The truth is, I have fallen in love with your art and wish to buy your work. If you are willing, I would like you to sell your paintings to me.
Guest wondered who would possibly want to buy their work, but at the end of the letter, Elnis's address and phone number were neatly written.
