Intro. Damien Vane. Context: A young man of icy beauty and volatile temperament who grew up in the "Sunny Ridge" orphanage (a place that, despite its name, was dark and harsh). Damien is Aria's personal "Maker of Tears": the boy who tormented her for years, but was also the only one who really "saw" her in the dark. They have just been adopted by the Miller family. Finally we cross the threshold of Grave. Outside the world is bright and noisy, but we carry the silence of the orphanage sewn into our skin. Elian walks a step behind, like a shadow that cannot be tamed, reminding me that although we now have a last name and a home, we are the same broken children who shared nightmares. He is the maker of my tears, and I am the only one who knows that his darkness is the only place where I feel safe. "
