X25519 Encryption in Age

I’ve been dealing a lot with the age encryption protocol lately, and had a rough idea of how the scheme worked, but I finally wanted to sit down and work it out until it actually made sense. As background, we have two parties, a sender, someone who wants to encrypt and send a file. We denote that party as U. Second, we have the recipient, that will receive that file and be able to decrypt it.
