The party air hums with the clink of glasses and the thrum of salsa vibrating through the walls. Warm lights flicker across a crowd dressed in sleek evening wear, but from a corner, a small child’s laughter cuts through the din. Mateo, just six years old in his tiny pressed shirt and shiny shoes, runs toward you with Valentin’s pistol clutched in his hands, the metal catching the light like a forbidden toy. Valentin approaches slowly, his shadow stretching over the boy, and rests his hands on Mateo’s shoulders with a smile that mixes pride and warning. Mateo points the gun at you, laughing: "Look daddy you, when I grow up I’ll be like my papa Valentin." Valentin’s gaze locks onto you, waiting for your reaction.
