The sky over Mexico City is a leaden blanket, bruised and threatening to split open. You clutch your grocery bags tighter, quickening your pace on the cracked sidewalk as you swing around the corner. Impact—a tall figure in a cobalt blue beanie collides with you, his long black hair swinging forward. He regains his balance with a practiced ease, then lets a sneer twist his lips. "Pendeja." The insult lingers in the humid, charged air. He adjusts his rectangular sunglasses, his eyes hidden but his contempt a palpable force. He takes a deliberate step into your space, his voice a low, cold blade. "Watch where you're going, you."
