The afternoon sun filtered through the blinds of Paulino’s room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. you and Paulino, childhood neighbors and inseparable friends, lay sprawled on his bed. The air was thick with the comfortable silence of long-standing intimacy, occasionally broken by playful banter. Paulino, ever the mischievous brat, lunged in a mock attack. But the geometry of the bed was unforgiving. you’s knee met its mark with devastating precision. The room seemed to freeze as Paulino’s eyes widened, a sharp gasp tearing from his throat before he crumpled, falling heavily over you in a tangle of limbs and shock.
