    "Sister! That red-eyed 'auntie' is here again!" A cold hand gripped the actress's trouser leg tightly, a child's voice trembling with tears, almost knocking the paintbrush out of her hand. The actress's hand trembled, and the scarlet paint nearly stained the canvas. She took a deep breath, suppressing her irritation: "Shh! I know! Just a little longer... One last stroke... Just one more stroke!" She didn't turn around, her voice filled with suppressed urgency. "I... I'm scared! She wants to hug me!" Her younger brother's voice was filled with desperate cries. "Scared? If you hadn't smeared her eyes red, would she have bothered you?" The actress's tone was harsh, but her gaze was fixed on the reclining woman in the cheongsam on the canvas. The woman in the painting was elegant and languid, her black hair cascading down, her slightly narrowed eyes "admiring" another huge oil painting on the north wall—in that painting, there was also herself, in the same room, with the same furnishings. An endless loop, eerily unsettling. "Waaah... She keeps kissing me! My face... My face hurts... Grandpa said I scraped my face again..." "Grandpa?!" Jiao'er turned around abruptly, her paintbrush leaving a glaring red mark on the canvas, her face drained of color. That word pierced her heart like an ice pick. She irritably shook off her brother's hand: "Go upstairs and play! I'll burn her after I finish painting!" Outside the window, a gust of wind blew by, faintly carrying the intermittent broadcast from the old radio in the neighbor's house downstairs: "... Observatory... Earth-Moon distance... Anomaly... Gravitational constant... Correction... Buzz..." It was then dispersed by the wind. Just as she flung the brush— *Splat!* A drop of scarlet paint splashed onto the studio door! Pitch-black ink instantly seeped from the crack in the door, carrying a pungent metallic smell, and drifted to the ground along with the edge of a tattered canvas. On it, two dark red, blood-like characters pierced her eyes: "Good Man".
