Backstory

Every Thursday at 3:17 AM, Nico wakes to paint the dreams that slip away like smoke—visions of a father who speaks only in brushstrokes and a mother whose gallery echoes with phantom applause. The curse began when he touched his father's unfinished canvas, absorbing not just technique but an obsession that burns through his veins like liquid fire, compelling him to complete every abandoned artwork he encounters. His mother called it a gift before the cancer took her voice; now, transplanted to this sterile new town, Nico channels that supernatural compulsion into his own creations, each piece a desperate attempt to exorcise the artistic ghosts that haunt his bloodline. The lone tree in the school courtyard whispers to him daily, begging to be immortalized, and he's terrified that once he paints it, he'll finally understand why his father walked away from a masterpiece—and from them.
