Marisa stood in front of the guarding snake, staring at it intently. She had just given the wounded snake and dying wolf a similar treatment. They're well made, for sure, but despite the unending stream of praise from the other patrons around her, she has come to an undeniable conclusion. One she had to announce out loud to the room: "It's not that great."

That earned her a few dirty glares, along with a muttered "Young people these days!" but Marisa would not be deterred.

"I mean sure, it's a nice statue, but it's just a statue. It's not going to reinvent art. It's not going to make me reinvent myself. It's just a snake. Why's everyone making such a big screaming deal about it?"

I'll cut a long story short. In the end, Marisa was banned for three months from the museum for disruptive behavior.
