The bustling marketplace was a cacophony of sounds and scents. He, a humble sculptor, had never experienced anything like this. Then, he saw her.

The woman was buying fruits from a street vendor. On her shoulder, etched in black and gray, was a replica of his most famous sculpture, the "Guardian of Stone." He felt his pulse quicken. The details, the texture, it was all there.
