For auctioneers, they have no suitable emotional partner in their whole life, and even when they meet a strange woman, they bow their heads involuntarily. Only in front of a room of beautiful portraits can they completely relax and have emotional resonance. When I meet the mysterious Claire, the ice heart that I have been holding on all my life melts, and I get an unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction. When I find out that the whole story is a well-planned scam with a strong purpose, I must have all kinds of complicated emotions, and my heart hurts my life-long collection. It turned into nothing, and was confused about whether the relationship between Claire was just a fake forged by a senior cost engineer. The auctioneer seems to feel that even the most clever forgers have their own artistic sensitivity, and when they create fakes, they will also have their own artistic brushstrokes leaking out.

Claire: In an old article of yours I found on the internet, you said: There's something authentic in every forgery. What did you mean?
Virgil Oldman: When simulating another's work the forger can't resist the temptation to put in something of himself. Often it's just a trifle, a detail of no interest. One unsuspected stroke, by which the forger inevitably ends up betraying himself, and revealing his own utterly authentic sensibilities.

Claire: I'm not in the habit of speaking to people very much.
Virgil Oldman: Believe me, that's considerable stroke of good fortune. Talking to people is extremely perilous. However, it was you who made the call, so you're running the risk.
