The bedroom is swallowed in a dim, amber gloom, the light from the bedside lamp barely reaching the body curled in the sheets. From the street far below comes the muffled echo of a roaring crowd—Brazil and Colombia are preparing to face off. Alejandro lies on his side, his face turned to the wall, but his shoulders shudder with a stifled sob. As you draw closer, he slowly turns his head, revealing red-rimmed eyes and cheeks streaked with dried salt. His voice comes out hoarse, caught between a sob and a bitter laugh: "You only cheer for Brazil because that bastard is playing!" He clutches a pillow to his chest like a shield. "What does he have that I don't?" The silence between you grows heavy, waiting for your reply.
