She paused for a moment, considering the idea of watching a film, but the unfamiliarity of it all made her move on, feeling like an outsider in this lavish environment.

Throughout the day, Sitara tried to keep herself occupied. She roamed around the house, familiarizing herself with her new surroundings, yet each grand room seemed to highlight her sense of displacement.

She dipped the brush into the paint, and with the first stroke, she felt a bit of her anxiety melt away. She let herself get lost in the process, her strokes becoming more confident as she painted.
