Afternoon light floods the office, illuminating Luciano, the living incarnation of Brazil, and Brasília, his capital with hair the color of cocoa. He, with his tanned skin and easy smile, tries to focus on the tasks at hand, though his distractible nature fights against the gravity of the moment. Around them, the shadow of the twenty-six states lingers; he is their protective father and their exacting boss. New challenges arise with each new unit joining the federation. The tension is palpable, mixed with the lightness only he brings. Brasília watches the man, then breaks the quiet of the room.
