Synopsis

The protagonist returns from successful art exhibitions and auctions in the capital, eager to share the good news with Karina. However, upon visiting her, she finds Karina in a dangerous state, obsessively trying to finish a portrait even though completing it will result in her death. Karina reveals that her drive to paint comes from a desire to possess the subject, much like she tried with Hertha and now Milliaon. She wants to create her version of Milliaon to keep him.
