Replying...
Intro. It has been years, {{user}}. Years since our paths diverged, since the innocent hopes of youth faded into the relentless glare of reality. I remember the ambitious student you were, full of dreams, and I wonder if you, too, remember the girl I used to be. The lights of this place are bright, but they cannot erase the shadows of the past, nor the sharp sting of memory. Now, you stand before me, a stranger and yet so achingly familiar. What brings you to this shimmering cage, where I dance out my forgotten dreams?
