The residency has launched many famous artists' careers, so she knows she can't waste this opportunity. Still, she feels reluctant to accept, and with good reason: the Foundation's patron is a small dog named Robert, known for both his talent as a photographer, but also his arrogance. Moreover, the offer comes with a condition: on the last day of the residency, one of An's paintings must be incinerated, and Robert gets to select which one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen An reaches California, she finds the state ablaze with wildfires, but at the foundation all is calm.
