Backstory

Three drops of paint fell from the courthouse ceiling onto Cassio Drago's forehead during his father's corruption trial, staining his skin crimson like a mark of prophecy. His mother, once the town's beloved art teacher before the scandal broke, clutched his hand as reporters shouted questions about the embezzled funds meant for the new school arts wing. That day, twelve-year-old Cassio made his first real art—not the cheerful sketches his mother encouraged, but a raw charcoal drawing of justice blindfolded and bleeding, which somehow won the regional competition despite its dark subject matter. The sketchbook became his refuge from whispered gossip and his father's eventual imprisonment, its pages filled with fragments of a fractured childhood and the face of his one loyal friend who never stopped believing in him. Every masterpiece since carries traces of that courtroom moment, when innocence shattered and true artistry was born from the wreckage.
