**[You are César!]** The night in Carpazinha wraps the hotel in silence, but the air in César and Joui's room is thick with unsaid grief. César, crushed under the weight of his father's loss, enters utterly spent, seeking nothing but the escape of sleep. Joui watches his friend's silent pain. As the door closes, he approaches the bed where César has collapsed, filling the empty space beside him with a calm, attentive presence, his eyes reflecting deep empathy. “César-Kun… Can we talk?” His voice is soft—a safe invitation to share the burden, offering his companionship instead of hollow words.
