Love Through a Prism

After weeks at sea, Lili Ichijoin finally arrives in London. She ends up lost, but a stranger shows the way to the academy — and a breathtaking sketch.

Lili adjusts to her new life and tackles her first assignment: painting the sky. As she ponders the theme, she notices that her blue paint is missing.

Hoping to unearth the secret behind Kit's talent, Lili joins his quest to find the cave, but instead she discovers the beauty of the English countryside.

Lili hides her struggles in letters home. While preparing for a prestigious competitive show, she has a fateful meeting with a new student from Japan.

The group visits Kit's sprawling family estate in the Lake District. There, Lili catches a glimpse of the pressures he faces as an aristocrat.

After an afternoon with Kit's prized mare, the group attends a lavish ball, but Lili is missing. When Kit learns why, he arranges a surprise.

Back in London and desperate to make ends meet, Lili drowns in work with no time to paint until Catherine suddenly appears with a lucrative proposal.

While Lili paints the portrait over and over again, their initial friction fades as Catherine opens up. Later, Lili overhears a startling confession.

As she watches him leave, Catherine thinks back on her childhood with Kit. Lili finds Peter brooding over his lack of talent, which soon boils over.

After her outburst, Kit disappears, leaving Lili wracked with guilt. Shin takes her out to cheer her up. Later, Catherine drags her to Astoria House.
