An Amaranthine had visited the legendary painter Brianthine in his studio, disrobed, and asked him to pain her. Briantine had picked up his brush and fallen into an ecstatic haze he described as the best hours of his life. He`d awakened to an empty studio.

"I wanted to be free."
"I would let you have your freedom—"
"Then why bind me at all?" I asked.
"Because I need you," she said. "None of the other Secondaries want liberty the way you do. They bend their necks and dismiss their own talents as worthless tricks. None of them is someone the other Secondaries can look up to."
"I want freedom, and so you want to chain me, to teach the others they should be like me."038
