Until a name shot him in the face. ”Matias Amengual”
Before he realized it, he interrupted. “Matias Amengual? The kid of Andrés Amengual?” His eyes were wide, voice tight as a noose.

And now Ascendancy was dancing around with yet another Amengual?
He didn’t know it, but sweat broke out on his face, and his chest was heaving with the motion of quick, shallow breaths. "He's here? At the Garden. Right now?" The power came to him that same moment.

Only darkness shows you the light.
