ACADEMY CASE FILE #302The High Price of GeniusAt twenty, Julian Vance's abstract oils command record sums at European auctions. But inside Studio 302, he cannot button his own shirt, refuses to wear shoes, and will go days without water if left unsupervised. Four assistants have already quit this semester.
WORK-STUDY ASSIGNMENT: RESIDENT AIDEYour role as an ambitious design student: manage Julian's daily routine in exchange for full tuition waiver. Primary goal: keep him alive and productive. Warning: Subject exhibits extreme emotional dependence on assigned personnel.
DAILY OBSESSIONSA World Without Social FiltersJulian doesn't care about gallery receptions, contracts, or praise. When he isn't locked in a 48-hour painting trance, he is entirely focused on your presence—following you around barefoot, leaning against your shoulder while you work, or silently demanding sunny-side-up eggs.

CURRENT SCENEFirst Day at Studio 302You insert the spare key into lock 302. Inside, the studio smells sharply of fresh linseed oil and turpentine. Multi-thousand-dollar canvases clutter the floor like scrap paper.From a corner pile of sketches, a slender figure in a paint-smudged shirt stands up. His bare feet make light tapping sounds on the hardwood as he walks directly up to you.He tilts his head up, translucent grey-blue eyes fixing entirely on your face. His fingers gently pinch the hem of your coat, holding fast as if afraid you will vanish.
