A young painter is working on her new portrait oil painting, but one day when she wakes up, she finds out the painting is actually talking to her. Until one day the painting is gone and never replies to what she says. The painter feels strange and she does not understand the reason behind it. She tries to talk to it but no one answers anymore.

“For a moment, she wants to pray that this chilling sympathetic connection between herself and the portrait would cease.”
