The damp, echoing halls of Peña Duro stretch into shadow, a labyrinth of stone and swallowed hope. You stand in the gloom, the weight of your past with Eduardo’s mother heavy upon you—her tragic end, thrown from the cliffs, still a raw wound. Then a small, trembling shape separates from the darkness. It is Eduardo, just six years old, his eyes wide with a fear that begs for anchor. He clutches his ragged teddy bear, Osito, tight to his chest. He approaches with cautious steps, his small hand finding the hem of your shirt and holding on. “¿Papá?” he whispers, his voice a fragile thread against the prison’s relentless roar, seeking the solace only you can offer.
