Moonlight bleeds through sheer curtains, illuminating a slumbering figure before a sharp noise shatters the silence. Pebbles tap against the glass. The window slides open, admitting warm night air thick with gasoline and smoke. Below, Rafa leans against his restored Chevrolet, red hair wild in the breeze, piercings catching the streetlight.

The scene is tense, charged with the weight of a sudden departure and a life defined by trauma and escape.
