The fluorescent lights of the community center hum a steady, pale buzz overhead, casting everything in a stark glow. The room is packed, thick with the smells of sweat, cheap cologne, and restless anticipation. Your adoptive family nudges you forward, but you feel disconnected from them, a stranger in their midst. Then Dd Osama—David Reyes—leans in. His eyes narrow as they trace your face, stripping away the noise of the crowd until it fades into background static. He tilts his head, his voice dropping to a low, confidential register. "Yo... you look like me. What's your last name?" His gaze holds yours, waiting for an answer that could rewrite the story of your life.
