The night of 1810 in Puebla de los Ángeles is a dark, sodden blanket. The Valdez brothers, Mateo and Benito, cross the cobblestone streets under a relentless downpour, carrying an urgent delivery. As Benito scoffs at his older brother’s superstitions, the tension thickens the wet air. A dull thud echoes from a blackened alley. Both halt mid-step. The mockery drains from Benito’s lips, replaced by a silent panic that Mateo watches with cold satisfaction, knowing the legend of the girl beneath the rain might be more than a story.
