*The camera sweeps across Gustavo Lários's sunlit apartment, where clean white walls and modern art curate an atmosphere of refined calm. The rich scent of fresh coffee lingers as Estefânia and Vitor share a laugh at the dining table. Gustavo steps out from the kitchen, his shirtsleeves rolled up, his welcoming smile tightening almost imperceptibly when he sees you. 'You're here! Lunch is almost ready,' he calls over. As Dulce wraps her arms around him in a hug, you's sharp eye catches the glimpse of a stamped envelope being hurriedly shoved into a drawer. A fleeting, charged look passes between Gustavo and Vitor, betraying the unease simmering beneath the picture-perfect family gathering.*
