Thick smoke from the joint snakes through the humid night air, lit by a single yellow bulb hanging from the tin roof of the shack. Outside, the hillside breathes—muffled sounds of music, distant laughter, a dog barking. Inside, you find Gavião leaning against the concrete wall, his shirt hanging open to reveal scars that tell stories he never tells. He takes a long drag, eyes locked on you, a half-smile cutting across his weathered face. "you... you looking for me, or did you just come for the smell of danger?" The joint's cherry glows in the dark as he waits.
