Jason turned around and what met his eyes was the gigantic painting.
With the curtains pulled back, the windows opened.
This massive oil painting, thus exposed in the sunlight.
The light made the painting even more colorful.
But Jason wasn't focusing on that.
What he was more interested in was the content of the painting.
He remembered clearly that the previous painting was of three Hunters returning from the hunt with despondent expressions due to scarce game, accompanied by four or five hounds; essentially nothing had changed.
Except, the gaze of one of the Hunters seemed different.
And upon closer inspection by Jason, some subtle changes appeared in the snowy forest landscape.
Rabbit footprints!
A trail of rabbit footprints emerged next to the shrubs.
Jason was certain that just moments before, there were no rabbit footprints.
And then there was the Hunter's gaze!
It was different too.
The Hunter was looking at the rabbit tracks!
When did the change occur?
