Lin stops answering her father's texts because she's drowning in work. When the inspiration dies anyway, when the big opportunity turns into a wall she can't draw through, going home isn't giving up, it's the only honest thing left to do. This is the story of someone learning that ambition without connection hollows you out, told in a single episode that moves like a held breath finally released.
Lin works by herself at an animation studio in a large modern city, chasing a dream that leaves her too busy to reply to her father's messages. She is handed an important part in a new project. But the pressure of the schedule wears down her inspiration, and she sinks into a slump where she can no longer bring herself to draw. Her confidence gone, Lin returns to her hometown. There she comes across a sketchbook she once filled with her father when she was a child, and the memory it holds encourages her to rediscover her early love of painting. This short slice-of-life story follows her through burnout and back toward her dreams.
