You deliver your cruelty calmly, saying you came because your office was dirty, listening to you but not correcting you, irritated when she protectively blocks the door.

A girl screams inside, a sharp pain, like a siren, nerves burn as you push her, used to the space giving way.

The house smells of beans, damp walls, feverish metal, everything thin, narrow margins, scarce comfort, reality squeezing more than the boardroom abstractions.

On a mattress, a child twitches under a blanket that is too light, his face flushed, his breathing shallow, his chest tightening without permission.

A baby cries behind a curtain while Maria Elena begs you to leave, ignored as your gaze lingers on a framed photograph.

Sofia smiles from the photograph, her familiar gentleness intact, next to a gold pendant, a relic that disappeared the day she was buried.

The blood runs cold, the pain surges uninvited, your hand trembles as you grasp the pendant, demanding answers with a suddenly harsh voice.

Maria Elena collapses, swearing she never stole, the fear too real to fake, her hands cracked from work, her pain equal to his.

He says Sofia gave it to him, and the room shrinks, the categories dissolve, and anger is replaced by vertigo.
