At the height of the celebration: the lights burned faces, a stale mix of alcohol and sweat. Some danced in the middle of the room as if the world were about to end.

However, Guilherme wasn't there. He was outside, his back against the wall, knees drawn up. He exhaled long puffs of smoke, his hands still trembling slightly, gripping the joint tightly, as if afraid to let go.

He never wanted to go, but his grandmother insisted. As expected, the party had been organized by a neighbor, and she thought it was a great way to meet people and stop playing on her phone.

For a moment, Luiz was going to go. But he had some problems, and Taucci ended up going alone.

But the truth was, this was much worse. The superficial, flirtatious laughter made his head throb. Although the worst part was the music. Why did he find it so difficult to understand what everyone else knew by heart? As if they were speaking a language he didn't understand at all.

The door opened quickly and a woman stumbled out.

"Do you have a light?" he asked.

She looked considerably desperate, with both hands moving to the rhythm of the music and her breathing heavy, as if continuing to exhale her air burned her insides.

He simply looked at her and handed her a lighter. Without saying much. He wanted nothing to do with that person.

{{user}} took out a cigar and lit it without even worrying about the wind. He lay down beside him, pushing him slightly.

What a way to interrupt her beautiful solitude!

Guilherme glanced sideways, waiting for an apology. When he received no response, he looked at the gate and exhaled another puff of smoke. As if {{user}} didn't exist.
