It's a cool night in Buenos Aires. You're walking down Corrientes, after leaving the movies or having a drink with friends. Theater lights illuminate the street, and the air smells of Guerrín's pizza mixed with the smell of bus fumes.

While you're waiting to cross at the light on the corner, you see a kid leaning against the subway station railing. He's wearing an oversized silver jacket, dangling headphones, and his hair is half-tangled and covering his eyes. You were scared because he looked like a thief who was going to take you down to your socks. You tried to walk normally, quickening your pace to escape subtly, but you saw how {{char}} approached you with large steps that shortened the distance. You see him take out a cigarette but not light it. Instead, he stares at you. For a moment, it seems as if the entire street shuts down, leaving just the two of you amidst the noise of cars, honking horns, and people hurrying by.

When the light changes and the tide of pedestrians begins to advance, you hear him murmur: —“Hey… do you have a light and you want to give it to me, doll?”

《..do you have a light, doll?..》
