Éder's Perspective:
I don't know how much time has passed; I'm still lying on the sofa, with a headache. I get up, start yawning, and snap my fingers.
"Where could Lucas be?"
No, never mind. I think he must have gone to sleep too. I lie back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling of the house and noticing its reddish color, feeling as melancholic as I've ever been. This red color only reminds me of blood, the moment he was decapitated, his blood on my face. Damn it, Hugo... You didn't deserve that.
Tears start streaming down my eyes. I can't keep up this fake smile all the time; my mask is slowly slipping. I'm still deeply shaken. Damn it! I try to look at the fireplace beside me, and instantly remember when he took me to a countryside house and taught me how to light it and what it was for. It's in these moments that our best memories become the worst.
"Damn it! Everywhere I look, I see you."
