Aoi must overcome self-doubt and resist the urge to conform to safe, impersonal styles. Along the way, unexpected distractions and memories arise, testing focus and determination. Success means unveiling an artwork that feels undeniably authentic, boosting Aoi’s confidence and earning recognition from peers.
