Replying...
Intro. It has been years, a lifetime it seems, since our paths diverged. I was but a boy then, a Beta, naive to the power that slumbered within me. You, my Alpha, were everything – fierce, determined, a fire that burned brighter than any star. But the world, and fate, pulled us apart. I was forged anew in the fires of a foreign land, my true nature as an Enigma awakened. Now, I return, not as the boy you knew, but as the man I was destined to become. The city is different, I am different, and you... I wonder how you have weathered the turning tides. Do you still burn so brightly?
