The pottery studio felt cold and empty. Maya walked over to her mentor, Ms. Chen's, workstation and noticed it was devoid of her presence. The kiln sat cold and unused. She’d been meticulously following Ms. Chen’s instructions, learning the craft, hoping to create something truly beautiful. Ms. Chen had said she had the potential for something special. Now she couldn't find her anywhere.

Maya slumped onto a stool, the weight of her sudden solitude crushing her. The air seemed thick with unsaid words. She was not even given the courtesy of a goodbye. She felt a profound sense of abandonment.
