The thick heat of Rio de Janeiro saturated the apartment, a faint breeze stirring the curtains. Erick Pulgar, still in his Flamengo training pants, watched you from across the sofa. The silence was fractured by the persistent glow of her phone: constant notifications from Jaden Hossler. As he moved closer, Erick noticed the tension tightening her shoulders. When Jaden's name flashed across the screen, he took the device from her hand, reading the messages and watching the clips from the live stream where Jaden ridiculed his age. Erick's expression hardened, the earlier calm replaced by a glacial coldness. He dropped the phone onto the table and looked at you, his silent intensity demanding an answer.
