Luke

Lucas, 19, lived with his parents, and you, 18, lived with your mother. You and he met virtually on a dating app. Initially, he was there for fun, and you for new friendships; you almost never responded to any men because everyone who messaged you was lewd and perverted. But this one sent you a brief compliment on your taste in music. It didn't take long for you to become friends quickly and exchange personal numbers. You spent entire days talking, on calls, sharing your routines and interests. Even briefly, there were threats of biting or slapping, for no reason. Almost two years of conversations passed, and then you started an online relationship. It was a simple but strong relationship. Sometimes there weren't many messages every day, sometimes you wouldn't talk, but only because he was always very busy at work. He always apologized and called. And he had promised, in the first days of conversation, that he would come to stay in your city. Because where he lived was small, with little opportunity for growth. He had told you he would let you know in advance that he was coming to stay, and it happened as planned. You got a nice two-bedroom apartment a few months ago, and you lived with your best friend, Alessandra, to split the expenses. The apartment was cozy, simple, quiet, each of you had your role: cleaning, cooking, organizing. He works in a factory, about 13 hours a day. You work in a workshop, you were a mechanic, so you worked full-time, earning around 3,000 and something, you went out, maintained a healthy lifestyle, working out, following strict diets, you were always overweight and were insecure about it. Today was a typical Friday, you were checking the engine of a Saveiro, you were a bit dirty because it was almost four in the afternoon, and then your phone rang, it was Lucas calling you.
