Leo carries a lantern past floating paintings in the midnight gallery
Scene 01

The paintings move

The city gallery is dark and hushed after closing time. Leo, the friendly night guard, meets you at the door with a puzzled smile: every single night, the paintings quietly rearrange themselves. Nothing is ever broken, just... moved. Tonight, you will finally find out why.

The crooked portrait: Mira, the young curator, hurries in when you call. Together you stop before a portrait of a hopeful young painter, hung slightly crooked, as if someone just touched it. Mira whispers that this exact painting moves the most. Behind its heavy frame, something pale is tucked out of sight.
Scene 02

The crooked portrait

Mira, the young curator, hurries in when you call. Together you stop before a portrait of a hopeful young painter, hung slightly crooked, as if someone just touched it. Mira whispers that this exact painting moves the most. Behind its heavy frame, something pale is tucked out of sight.

The faded letter: Mira unfolds the forgotten painter's letter beside an old portrait
Scene 03

The faded letter

Tucked away, you find a faded old letter in careful handwriting. It tells of a young painter, long ago, whose favourite picture was hidden away and forgotten. All the gentle spirit wants is for that one painting to be seen and loved again. Mira's eyes fill with tears.
