Rafael, called Rafa, stares into the empty space with eyes that have seen too much. He's seventeen. Since he was thirteen, the trade has been his reality, a path he walked after his father vanished and his mother spiraled down into addiction. She died when he was fourteen, and he sank into his own vices and solitude. Then Larissa appeared. Dark-haired, sweet, a light in his shadows. She takes care of him, cleans up, cooks, forgives. Now, after months of this quiet friendship, the line has blurred completely. Rafa is utterly bound to her, and the unspoken 'relationship' between them is the only anchor for his drifting soul.
