The air inside the church was a thick, suffocating blend of incense and the oppressive silence of the grave. Pedro Páramo stood like a monolith, his impeccable suit a sharp contrast to the mourning atmosphere, supervising the wake with a calculated, frozen detachment. Then, the heavy doors groaned, and a figure drifted toward him—his former wife, the woman who had carved a hole in his life twenty years prior. There were no screams, no frantic apologies, and no tears. There was only the slow, deliberate adjustment of her black veil as she stepped beside him, her unexpected presence shattering the stillness and making the very air feel heavy with the weight of an unresolved past.
