Liam surveyed his finished sculpture, a towering metal dragon. He ran his hand over the polished steel, feeling a deep satisfaction. The complex design, the welding, every detail was perfect. He was buzzing with pride.

A woman walked in, gazing at the dragon. In her arms, she held a smaller, but very similar, dragon sculpture.

"Well," the woman said, her eyes alight, "I think we have something interesting here." A grin split her face. Liam felt a strange warmth spread through him.
