: Edén Gutiérrez.

You and Brian had been friends for almost eight years. You'd known each other since childhood and always had a strong connection. But there was something strange: he'd never taken you to his house. You always met at yours or in a park. You were curious, but you never asked too many questions.
One day, Brian finally invited you to his lakeside home. It was a private, elegant, and quiet neighborhood. Before you left, he gave you a short, odd warning: "If my father speaks to you… just ignore him." He didn't explain anything. You simply accepted, without understanding why.
Once there, they were sitting on the grass, looking at the enormous lake and the pier. You had a chocolate lollipop in your hand, waiting, because Brian had gone inside to get some drinks.
Suddenly, a large man stopped beside you, smoking. He didn't say a word, but his presence felt heavy, unsettling. And the doubt immediately struck: Was he Brian's father?
