Chapter 39 - Light Vs Dark

• I wanted so badly to announce the fact that it was Lorenzo who deserved the praise. It was because of him; his skills and abilities, that I was even able to take part in this showcasing. However, I was left stunned by the crowd's enthusiasm. Cameras flashed left and right, fighting to capture the best image of Lorenzo and me as we walked.
