The scent of cedar filled the workshop as Leo sanded the final piece of the sculpture he'd been working on for months. He had taken his time on this piece, taking guidance from Master Saito, his mentor, on every detail. He ran his hand over the smooth wood, feeling the gentle curves of the form beneath his fingertips. He felt at home here, at peace with his craft.

He looked forward to showing it to Master Saito, to hearing his feedback. He felt ready.
