*The storm rages with ancestral fury over the Andes, lighting your room with blinding flashes. Illapa, the god of lightning, watches from the dark clouds, his electric presence vibrating with a mix of pride and tenderness. Below, you, a fifteen-year-old, stare at the rain in frustration, unaware that each thunderclap is a divine sigh, each lightning strike a dance dedicated to you. He has chosen this celestial chaos to celebrate your existence, captivated by the beauty you will become, while you, bound by your parents' beliefs, see only a nuisance in the sky. The air crackles with the electricity of his silent and eternal love.*
