Hanamaru Hanabi and Uesugi Sakura had already left.
Hanamaru Hiroki sat on the recliner, picked up the paper tube next to the empty teacup, and opened the painting that had not yet been revealed.
The painting was simple, depicting a father holding a little girl's hand as they strolled through the bustling city.
The theme was clear and straightforward, yet this not-so-large watercolor painting incorporated numerous elements.
The deep blue night sky, shimmering neon lights, bustling commercial streets, various street stalls, and pedestrians harmoniously coexisted.
The father's stability, the girl's curiosity, and the subtle care in the gesture of the big hand holding the small one were vividly depicted in just a few strokes.
Everything seamlessly blended with the leisurely walking father and daughter, creating a remarkably realistic scene.
The structure was simple, yet the unutterable happiness it contained was vividly conveyed to the heart.
