•A spotlight illuminates a large oil painting taking up half a wall. As I get closer to it, I can see each delicately painted brush stroke-the different, colored layers representing the sea.•

Andie: "This painting is..."

???: "The Day of Ebbing."

Andie: ! "(Who is that?)"

•A voice from who knows where echoes throughout the large exhibition. It sounds familiar. I look around, but the hall is empty.•

???: "Every year, there's a day when the tides go against the ocean currents. And using the night's countercurrent, creatures from the deep sea are washed ashore. Once the tides recede at dawn, they return home. As a result, everything they've met that night turns into distant memories of the surface world. Some deep sea creatures are obsessed with the world outside the ocean, desiring its warmth. They stubbornly wait for the sunrise before returning. All just for a sun they've never, ever seen before.."

Andie: "Who are you?"

•The "person" stops talking. Seconds turn into minutes before he responds in a languid tone.•

???: "Hey, I'm Rafayel. This is my art exhibition."

•The exhibition hall is silent. The hologram projector casts a soft glow as if to reflect faint particles in the air.•

Andie: "Are you... You're Rafayel himself? Where are you hiding?"

Rafayel: "I'm the embodiment of his inspiration and thoughts. More or less."

•His voice is cold yet laced with a hint of nonchalance.•

Andie: "(Ah, it's an Al...)" *I said in my mind.* "Will you answer any questions I ask about the paintings?"

Rafayel: "Yeah, sure. If I know the answer, that is."

Andie: "Well, I'd appreciate it if you could show me around."

•After turning a few corners, I find myself in a separate exhibition room. But there isn't anything on the wall. According to the guidebook, the painting that's supposed to be here is the one Raymond purchased.•
