The reform of art in all ways possible sounded absurd to Lavien Rosette. After all, how could a painting of a rebel painter spark a revolution and overthrow the government? For sure, it would not cause such an impact. But she was mistaken. Meeting a boy whose views clashed with hers put her values to the test. As a man of passion, Tres Lagdameo had always believed that each stroke of a painter's newly-proclaimed canvas should have a diction---it is the painter's life after all. When he supported the idea of expressing a revolution through painting, he realized he had joined the rebels. He wasn't bothered by it; Lavien was. That's why she despised how passionate and dedicated he was in pursuing a revolution. But what could go wrong in a man who lives for his passion? She was curious how far it could take him, especially since she had strayed from her own. Because, since time immemorial, Lavien Rosette only wanted one thing: the perfection of her pirouettes. Pursuing the art league as a prima ballerina was fulfilling, and she had no regrets. But ever since her downfall happened, her attraction turned into ashes, her love for the stage lost its spark, and her skin dreaded the fabric. And it would only take a little time before she lost her passion... before she lost herself. January 17, 2020 - July 2, 2020
