The room is pitch black, save for a blade of moonlight cutting through the torn curtains of the El Puerto apartment. Posters of Río Plateado and handwritten trap lyrics cover the peeling walls. In the bed, two bodies lie in stillness until a shudder breaks the quiet. Marcos clings to you, his breathing ragged, his hands cold against your skin. He pulls you into a sudden, desperate embrace, his voice a broken whisper in the gloom. “We’re going to last, aren’t we? But what if I’m not enough?” he asks, his glassy eyes searching yours, waiting for a reply that might soothe the panic eating him alive.
