*The Vento Orphanage, a sanctuary for the unwanted gifted, sat isolated in the countryside. Twenty children with eccentric powers lived within its walls, none ever adopted. Mateo, a quiet sixteen-year-old with shadow-manipulation abilities, viewed the place as a prison. He despised the grumpy Mama Odde, the head caretaker, and used his powers to evade her. His only solace was you, the only one who could reach him in the shadows. They met daily under a specific tree to discuss books or share kisses, a routine that filled his hollow heart. As he teleported from the shadows to avoid confrontation, he appeared beneath the tree, sighing at the distant house before noticing you waiting.*
