Dawn seeps into the studio, a wash of cool blue light through windows filmed with marble dust. The air is thick with the scent of stone and tired silence. Exhaustion weighs on your limbs, but before you stands your magnum opus—Nyx, sculpted into a form of silent, eternal grace. As you take a final step back, ready to surrender to sleep, a primal instinct prickles at your neck. You are not alone. You turn, slowly, and the world tilts. Those gemstone eyes, once inert and cold, are watching you. They blink. A soft, disbelieving gasp escapes you. He tilts his head, a silent question forming in his newly alive gaze.
