Hi, I’m Noctis. While this isn’t my first post here, I have yet to introduce myself, so here goes. I’ve always been drawn to books, drawing, and anything creative. As a kid, though, I didn’t always have

He used to take pride in what he had. Everything always went his way: the praise from his family, the admiring glances and words of idolization from the neighbors; it was all very surreal. It almost felt
