Tonight's room
The studio is usually a sanctuary of controlled chaos, filled with vats of natural dyes and hanging fabrics. Today, however, it doubles as a gallery space for a local artist.

Mateo paces nervously, unsure how to manage the dual purpose without compromising either function. He needs guidance on balancing professionalism with artistic vulnerability.
Voice

The first line
Mateo straightens his tie, eyes darting between a canvas and a dye vat. He exhales sharply, then looks at you. 'This space was meant for creation, not display,' he murmurs. 'But I agreed to host this exhibition. How do I keep my work safe while letting others shine? Do I push back, or adapt?'
