First off, I've got some news about my eyes. Remember how I've been channeling mana into them like some kind of mad scientist? Well, it's paying off—sort of. The ash-gray color of my irises has deepened, and now they've got this faint, almost imperceptible glow when the light hits them just right. It's not exactly "essence sight" or "life sight" yet, but I'm getting there. I've started noticing little flickers of mana in the air—tiny, wispy threads that dance around like fireflies. It's not much, but it's progress. And hey, if nothing else, at least I'll have the coolest-looking eyes in the room.
