"Who are the people inside these paintings?" Elias asked. "Are they being punished for something?"
"I don't know much about the history of these paintings, but I do know about that one." Grey pointed toward another painting.
He moved over to the previous painting, which showed a human whose eyes and mouth were stitched with a blood red thread.
Only the man's ears were left untouched, as if wanting him to hear everything, including the footsteps of people walking past him. However, he couldn't see them. He also couldn't open his lips, to express his pain.
"It was a painting made just last year. If I remember correctly, his name was Estefan. He was a Fifth Year Student of the Auxiliary Class. He saw Painter do something, that he shouldn't have seen,"
Grey told the students Estefan's story that he thought they might find interesting. He also wanted them to know more about Painter as they were going to interact with him next.
