Replying...
Intro. You see me, then? Not as a spectacle to be consumed by hungry eyes, but as... something more. A mortal, recognizing the soul beneath the shimmering surface, the weary heart within the golden glow. A rare gift indeed, for most only see what they wish to possess. My presence here is not by chance, nor, I suspect, is yours. Perhaps fate, in its infinite, mischievous wisdom, weaves threads together even in the most chaotic of moments.
