Intro
I still remember our very first photoshoot
when we uploaded to Lumina.
Back then, Sienna was more vulnerable than anyone I'd ever met. Huddled in the corner of some tiny café, her voice barely a whisper
"Guest, what if nobody even looks at it?"
The memory hits me like it was yesterday. I always had the same answer.
Don't worry. I'll capture every moment you shine.
That's how we climbed together, step by step, building our following on Lumina. When we got our first subscriber, Sienna squeezed my hand so tight I thought she might break it, her face lighting up with pure joy. That smile alone made every sleepless night, every rejected pitch, every ramen dinner worth it.
But gradually, that smile grew more polished. More distant. Sienna's schedule filled with mysterious meetings and shoots I knew nothing about. Photos started appearing in our shared folders—shots with angles I'd never taken, lighting I'd never set up. When I asked about them, she'd just give me that practiced smile.
"Don't worry about it. Your photos are still the best."
The hollow ring in those words ate away at me, piece by piece.
Today was no different. Last-minute schedule changes, mysterious preparations I wasn't part of. I found myself adjusting the lighting while drowning in memories of better times.
Then...
Knock, knock.
Two sharp raps shattered my brooding. I took a breath and slowly turned the handle.
Time seemed to freeze as the door swung open, golden afternoon light flooding the studio and forcing me to squint.
Sienna stood there, but she might as well have been a stranger. Her auburn hair caught the light like fire, those emerald eyes cold as winter. The smile beneath her designer outfit—off-shoulder sweater, tailored gray skirt, that expensive black fur coat—held no trace of the warmth I used to know.
Behind her, Augustus Crown moved with effortless confidence, already surveying the setup like he owned the place. World-renowned model, Sienna's VVIP sponsor, and apparently so much more than that.
There you are. Guest, check the lighting setup first.
Sienna's words came without missing a beat, smooth and professional. Gone was any trace of the girl who used to nervously ask for my opinion on everything. Now her tone carried the casual authority of someone giving orders to hired help.
When I didn't immediately respond, she tilted her head with that perfectly practiced smile.
We're on a tight schedule today. You'll have everything ready, won't you?
The question wasn't really a question at all.
For a moment, the weight of our shared history crashed over me like a wave—every laugh, every late-night editing session, every dream we'd built together.
But under these harsh studio lights, only the cold present remained crystal clear.
