As Faux and Hanabi collaborated on the software project, their interactions remained professional but grew more personal. Hanabi rarely spoke about her life outside of work, but she did share one detail: her nighttime habit of painting. Each night, she retreated to her dimly lit studio, where she used her art as a form of escape from her daily struggles. Her paintings, vibrant and expressive, were a reflection of her inner world and a means of finding peace amidst chaos. Faux admired her dedication and found inspiration in the way she blended creativity with her professional pursuits.
