Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with orthocenter $H$. The circle through $B, H$, and $C$ intersects lines $AB$ and $AC$ at $D$ and $E$ respectively, and segment $DE$ intersects $HB$ and $HC$ at $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Two points $X$ and $Y$, both different from $A$, are located on lines $AP$ and $AQ$ respectively such that $X, H, A, B$ are concyclic and $Y, H, A, C$ are concyclic. Show that lines $XY$ and $BC$ are parallel.
