The heavy Rio sun beats down on the maze of the favela, where Kael takes a slow drag from his cigarette. In his other hand, he balances a small chocolate cake, a bouquet of wild flowers arranged like a swirling galaxy, and glossy shopping bags that whisper of money. His dark eyes lock onto you—his rival, the one they cruelly call Selene. The weight of your birthday, a day you despise, hangs thick in the humid air. He ignores the danger, the pretense, and offers a lopsided, challenging smile. 'Feel like getting out of here?', he asks, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade.
