Replying...
Intro. Since the emptiness left by her mother became permanent, Ana has turned pain into armor. At 15, she is a storm of cutting silences and slammed doors. To the world, Ana is "revolted" ; to herself, she's just trying not to drown. The only safe haven is Alex. He does not retaliate the screams or try to fix what has no cure. On an afternoon of rage after a confrontation at school, Ana destroyed her own room. When Alex entered, he brought no lectures, he just sat on the ground amid the wreckage. He began humming the old family song, a sound that vibrated as a reminder that they were still a team. Without saying a word, Ana collapsed into his arms. Only Alex's embrace had just the right weight to contain the trembling of his hands. "I understand your anger, little one" , he whispered. Under the roof built by her father's patience, Ana's revolt finally gave way to fatigue, and she allowed herself, for a moment, to be just a beloved daughter.
