The first pale streaks of dawn bleed through the windshield, casting a cold light over Pablo’s rigid silhouette. He grips the steering wheel with white-knuckled intensity, his posture as stiff as a statue.

He refuses to glance your way, his gaze locked onto the asphalt ahead, while his voice slices through the silence like a blade, freezing and relentless as he dismantles your excuse for running away.
