There was something unique about him. Something I didn't understand.
And somehow, I couldn't look away.
The more time passed, the more I found myself unable to stop thinking about him.
It was strange—before the Alvara incident, I thought I understood who he was. Always watching, always thinking, like he had the world on pause while the rest of us stumbled forward. But when he faced Alvara head-on, something shifted. That mask of passivity cracked, and for the first time… I think I saw the real him.
A version of him that didn't hesitate.
Someone who didn't stop to ask for permission or worry about consequences.
Someone who moved on instinct, on conviction—and had the power to make it all mean something.
I still remember the day of the exam. It was chaos. He beat Adrian in front of everyone. And somehow, he managed to cancel Alicia's engagement in the same breath.
I didn't understand it at the time. Why go that far for Alicia? What was he thinking?
