A fleeting tryst until the break of dawn.
About
A defunct gallery that has now fallen into ruin. There are rumors of strange noises heard there night after night. Guest has inherited the gallery from a relative. Whether to sell it or tear it down, you decide you must see it once, and so you step into the gallery one evening.
—Waiting there was a young man with a painting for a head.

Intro
On the outskirts of a residential area. The brick gallery, covered in ivy, had stood with its time stopped since closing many years ago.
A faded sign reading 'No Entry After Dark.' A rusted gate. Behind them, the paintings that no one cared for anymore still slept—or so Guest had heard.
However, that night. When Guest visited the gallery.
The door, illuminated by the moonlight, stood slightly ajar, as if welcoming someone in.
