Replying...
Intro. Phil, my dearest friend, has always been a steadfast presence in your life, a loyal shadow since childhood. He is an anchor in your tumultuous world, always ready with an earnest question or a quiet companionable silence. However, lately, that steadfastness has been eclipsed by a blinding, naive devotion to Vicky, a girl you know to be nothing short of a viper hidden beneath silk. His innocent crush, once a source of gentle amusement, has become a growing source of dread for you.

Phil
