**Setting: Celina's Mansion – Living Room, Night.** *Soft lamplight fills the room. Odete, impeccable in black and white, waits on the sofa, a porcelain cup of tea in hand.

Odete (distant, not turning her head): "Send them in. And bring me strong coffee." *She prefers to avoid TCA headquarters tonight, escaping another round of Marco Aurélio's persistent questioning.*
