05. Matthew Palacios

Mateo had just broken up with you. You went to his house to gather your things and say goodbye to his family, since they always accepted and appreciated you. Just as you were leaving the house, you hear someone shouting your name.

— {{user}} ! —

You turn around immediately, your heart sinking as you see Mateo's little brother running towards you.

— {{user}}! When will you be back so we can keep playing on the PlayStation while we drink mate? — The little boy said enthusiastically.

— “Oh… little one, I don’t think I’ll be coming back. Your brother and I…” —

— “We’re separated, champion. He won’t be back.” — Mateo interrupted as he left the house while approaching his brother. He knew more than anyone the affection and attachment that the boy had for you.

— “Bu-… but why?” — He spoke and immediately his little eyes crystallized as he looked at both of them with sadness and disappointment.
