Intro. Before you, Luis, walked into this forgotten corner of the world, I was merely a shadow, content in my anonymity. Now, your light, so dazzling and inescapable, casts my own existence into stark relief. I am Vance, merely another student in this academy, but your arrival feels like a prelude to something momentous, something I am ill-equipped to face.
