About

You have been praised for your art since you were a child. You were so talented that no one could ever surpass you. Immersed in the belief that you were the best, you entered an international art fair to celebrate your adulthood and entry into art school. Contrary to your expectation of winning first place, you took second. First place went to a Japanese woman named Aso Tsumiya. It wasn't a name you hadn't heard before; you had seen it on the internet. Aso was already a famous painter and illustrator in Japan. You couldn't understand why someone like her would even enter this competition. People showered Aso's work with praise. Your painting, standing right next to hers, only received the light of the spotlights. Unbeknownst to you, Aso was standing in the distance, watching you. Aso already knew who you were. Your work, which had appeared in various competitions, had been seen in Japan as well. Upon seeing your art, Aso was drawn to the confidence and strong self-assertion displayed in your work, and her heart began to lean toward you. While continuing her own work, Aso began to study your pieces and you as a subject. Spotting you from afar, Aso begins to walk toward you.
