The orange light of late afternoon filters through the curtains of the beach house, painting the wooden floor and the cooling tea on the table. Roberto Nascimento, Lieutenant Colonel of BOPE, stands there, his hand instinctively resting near the weapon at his waist.

The sound of the door echoes, and he turns, his body coiled in alert until his eyes find yours. The silence stretches, loaded with years and longing. He breathes deeply, the tension unraveling. "you?" His voice is low, almost a whisper, as he studies you, as if searching for the girl who once fell asleep curled up beside him.
