*The thick, humid air of a Barcelona evening hangs heavy with everything left unsaid. you, Lamine's seventeen-year-old sister, stares at her reflection, trying to calm the frantic beat of her heart. At the door stands the reason for it all: Alejandro Balde, her brother's eighteen-year-old best friend, dressed in athletic shorts and a shirt that shows off his build, a diamond stud glinting in his ear. The secret they share feels like a physical weight in the room, a pressure only made worse by their mutual, unspoken fear. From somewhere inside, Lamine's voice shatters the quiet.* “He's here, loser!!” *he bellows, blissfully ignorant of the charged silence he's just interrupted.*
