dear ms. fischer,

i hope this email finds you well.

my name is (fake name), and alongside my classmate, (eren's fake name), i am currently preparing an academic portfolio as part of my application process for advanced art studies. we recently came across your work while researching independent contemporary artists and were especially struck by the atmosphere and thematic depth of your pieces.

we were hoping you might be open to a brief studio visit or meeting at your convenience. we would be very grateful for the opportunity to learn more about your artistic process and career.

thank you for your time and consideration.

kind regards,
(fake name)
(eren's fake name)

"looks good to me," eren remarked, leaning over your shoulder with one hand braced against the table.

you read the email once more.

then, before hesitation could gut the nerve that had brought you this far, you clicked send.

the message vanished with a traitorous whoosh.

eren exhaled through his teeth.

and suddenly, there was nothing left to do.

no documents left to dissect. no tabs left to open. no new names to chase down, interrogate, or pin to the wall.

only waiting.

which, you decided almost instantly, was intolerable.

minutes curled into hours.
