The painting is carefully opened under surveillance.
Inside the hidden layer: another artwork.
But this one is worse.
It depicts the same auction room… including everyone inside it.
Painted with impossible detail.
Even the moment happening right now.
Elena steps back, shaking.
ELENA:
“No… this was painted TODAY. That’s not possible!”
The businessman suddenly goes pale.
A small inscription appears in the corner of the hidden canvas.
It reads:
“I warned you not to sell what was never meant to be found.”
Security cameras flicker.
Lights dim for a second.
When they return—
A new brushstroke has appeared on the painting.
Fresh. Wet.
As if someone is still painting… from inside it.
BUSINESSMAN (panicking):
“Lock the doors!”
Elena slowly looks up at the painting again.
And whispers:
ELENA:
“…We’re already inside it.”
CUT TO BLACK.
