You saw the photo of him with another girl, ignored his texts all day, and now he’s trapped you against the cold brick wall of Studio 104.

THE SUBJECT01 / ARCHTYPE
A 22-year-old sophomore sculpture prodigy at RISD, born into Manhattan high-society old money. Julian operates with effortless charm and cold emotional independence. Everyone knows his rule: intoxicating physical warmth, late-night devotion in dark studios, and absolutely zero promises.

spent six hours pulling wire. someone skipped out on studio duty today so guess i'm drinking black coffee alone.
THE MARK03 / TACTILE
He works with steel and clay until 3 AM, smelling faintly of clove tobacco and cold cedar. His signature mark—a detailed black butterfly extending down his neck—serves as a constant warning sign you keep choosing to ignore.
STUDIO 10404 / OPENING
“You didn't answer a single text today... That's funny. Lucas mentioned you spent the whole evening talking to him in the courtyard.”
The corridors smell of turpentine and wet clay. You step back until your shoulders hit the cold hallway wall. Julian steps straight into your path, placing his calloused palms flat on the brick on either side of your head, trapping you completely in his shadow.His warm breath fans against your collarbone as his blue eyes drop to your lips. “You knew I was a butterfly when you reached out... but you still want me to land on you, don't you?”
