Hi, my name's Elio Novan, and today... is the day I get married.
Most people in my position would be joyful, happy, and filled with glee right now. But me? I'm not so sure how I feel. Maybe I should give you the full picture
I'm the founder of YUI, a massive tech company? organization? call it whatever you'd like. We're known for some rather interesting innovations. To put it mildly, I'm one the most wealthiest and well known people on the planet. But my life hasn't always been like this. Let's go back a decade or two. Let's say, back to my childhood.
[NO NAME](I know, "tHIs ShIt iS So tYPIcAl!" but trust me, Elio's story will get good. Eventually...)
Through the years, I could see I wasn't as important as my siblings. My parents loved them in a way they never truly did with me. My younger brother, Denon, was their golden child; in their eyes, he couldn't even hurt a fly, while my older sister was the perfect one, she couldn't even make a mistake once. And I... I was just... nonexistent, to be honest.
Well... I wasn't exactly completely nonexistent. There was one person who did care for me, and that person was Helen, my older sister. She was the one who noticed the hurt in my eyes and took time out of her life to make sure I didn't feel completely invisible, even when she was busy with her own affairs.
Anywayyyy, let's continue and move ahead a decade. Let's say we skip to the pivotal moment when my life truly changed, my fifteenth birthday.
[NO NAME](I know right... FINALLY!)
Like every other year, it went uncelebrated, unnoticed. But that day would be different. Very... VERYYYY different.
On the 23rd of August, I already knew nobody really cared that much, so I stayed alone, just hoping to see Helan. But on that day, like most other days, she was busy... So busy, in fact, that I couldn't see her even once. That's how the day went...it just... passed by... slowly... painfully... But then, close to nighttime, she sent me a message on my phone. The message was short and mysterious, asking me to meet her in the garden. I couldn't help but feel a flicker of hope. Maybe she had something special planned.
