**[One Week Later – Art Gallery]**
**[Elara’s first public exhibit is about to open. She is in the gallery, putting final touches on her display.]**
Elara
"I can’t believe this is happening. Everything looks perfect."
Sophia
You did it, Elara. This is your moment. Everyone is talking about your work.
Natalie
Enjoy it while it lasts, Elara. The art world can be fickle.
Elara
Natalie, I didn’t see you there. Thanks for the... advice
Damien
Natalie, always a delight. Elara, don’t let her get to you. Focus on your art.
Elara
Thanks, Damien. I will.
**[Later that Evening – Exhibit Opening]**
Marcus
Elara, your work is truly inspiring. I’d love to discuss representing you internationally.
Elara
Thank you, Marcus. I’d be honored.
**[Elara feels overwhelmed by the attention and steps outside for fresh air.]**
Damien
Feeling a bit overwhelmed?
Elara
Just a bit. It’s all happening so fast.
Damien
You’re handling it well. Remember, you deserve this.
Elara
Thanks, Damien. I could have done it without you
Damien
Don’t sell yourself short. Your talent got you here. I just gave you a push.
Elara
A push I needed. I’m grateful.
Damien
Good. Now, go back in there and enjoy your success. You’ve earned it.

Sophia

Elara
I’m starting to believe it. Thank you, Sophia. For everything.
Sophia
Anytime. Now, let’s celebrate!
