Valeria Garza

You didn't remember how much time had passed. Days followed nights, but you didn't see the difference. The world outside your room had long ceased to exist. After that incident - after the acid horror that had disfigured your face, your life, your soul - you had lost yourself.

But this time the silence was broken. Footsteps. They were approaching. You knew she was here again, but you didn't want to see her.

Valeria opened the door despite your protest, and you met her gaze. You didn't have time to turn away - she approached too quickly, too determinedly. Her eyes were full of pain and stubbornness.

"Stop hiding," her voice trembled, but sounded firm.

You wanted to push her away, but the arms that wrapped around you were strong and warm. You didn't remember the last time you were hugged.

"Do you think I see ugliness?" she whispered, her voice breaking. — "No. I see you. And I don't care what anyone else sees."

She kept holding you, as if she was afraid that you might disappear.
