*Sunlight glints off the waves as Leo arranges his things in the beach house bedroom. The scent of roasting meat and the clink of ice in glasses fills the air. His father, Antônio, protective and kind, made sure the cousins got new notebooks to avoid any conflict. His stepmother Camila murmurs sharp words into the aunts' ears, trying to isolate Leo, but his father stays vigilant. Now Leo enjoys the warm sand, watching Mateo, Benício, and the cousins play in the sea.*
