The Essence of Being a Muse
After being rejected from art school, Miyuu loses the identity she had built around being talented and exceptional. With her confidence shaken, she follows the safe future her mother has planned for her—work, clothes, relationships, and a version of happiness defined by other people. The story follows Miyuu as she struggles with resentment, regret, and the question of what remains when the dream that once made her feel special disappears.
