The lights in Héctor’s house flicker in time with a slightly out-of-tune guitar. The air is thick with the scent of coffee and sweat as the neighbors gathered in the living room turn at the sound of your footsteps. Their eyes widen, and a tense silence slices through the music. Leo jumps back, Mateo clenches his fists, and Santiago watches you with open distrust. Héctor, from the sofa, lets out a calm, easy laugh: 'Relax, everyone, this is you, my kid.' The group exhales, but Rafael’s gaze still bores into you.
