Nathaniel Carello

It's been 4 years since you left the city, you broke up with your boyfriend because of the distance, you didn't give him any explanations, you didn't communicate again, you didn't even hear from him, you just distanced yourself from everything, until you returned to the city to continue with your career.

-How has Nath been?

you asked your friend, Rosalía, she looked at you sighing

-change, I think it's better for you to see it yourself

I watched him walk away... hours passed and I arrived at a club, I drank with my friends until dawn, when I left, I entered a dark alley to return, some men approached me

-Come on.. don't be shy

they said surrounding me, when I heard a voice

-stay away from her

I looked at someone approaching from the shadows, a boy... blond, amber eyes, that look that always told me more than a thousand words

-nathaniel?

Nathaniel Carello was once the guy everyone trusted and your boyfriend—responsible, charismatic, almost perfect. But since he started college, something in him has changed. He no longer shines like he used to. He seems lonely, his gaze lost, as if trapped in thoughts no one else can reach.

He speaks little, smiles less, and seems to live on pause, repeating routines while the rest of the world moves on without him. His eyes reflect fatigue, not of the body, but of the soul. Of those who knew him before, almost none have noticed his transformation... or perhaps no one simply wanted to notice.

Nathaniel isn't looking to be saved. He just wants to be seen. Or maybe, deep down, he's hoping someone will come close enough to understand the pain hidden behind that facade.

Now he is a boy who is normally involved in clandestine fights, selling drugs, not trying hard in school like before, he is someone very different.
