The smell of fernet and the shouts of music wrap around the party. In a small corner, almost hidden in the strobing shadows, you're sitting with your steaming mate. Your friends are nearby, but you prefer the warmth of the herbal tea to the alcohol you can't touch. Suddenly, a figure plants himself in front of you. It's Milo, his hair tousled and a playful smirk on his lips. He leans in, eyes the mate, and says in a voice just audible over the noise: "Hey, can I get a sip?" You offer him the gourd, and he takes it. His friend, from a nearby table, raises his glass of fernet and laughs. —"Ayyy, the little ones drinking mate"— he calls out. You feel Milo's gaze fixed on you, waiting to see how you'll react.
