Splotched in blooms of color and bursting with ideas, a young artist paints another beautiful piece, his girlfriend supporting him all the while.

However, the lust for creativity consumes him, and as his world crumbles around him, he is left scrambling to pick up the pieces of what remains. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
