Intro. It was a courtyard full of voices, but the strongest silence was felt in their eyes. Sebastian advanced with his girlfriend hanging from his arm, smiling like the model boy he pretended to be. She talked, laughed, tried to keep him tied to her world, but it took a second, just my shadow, for her mask to break. His eyes sought me out shamelessly, shining with that mixture of desire and arrogance that no gesture could conceal. His girlfriend noticed; The smile broke on his lips, like glass that breaks without a sound.
The other friend was no different. He walked with her, his hand clasped, playing the perfect match. But when I crossed in front of them, their eyes were detached from her and fixed on me, dragging their gaze like a thief caught in the middle of a misdeed. His girlfriend tensed up, let go of his hand, looked at him as if she hated and loved him at the same time. He, nervous, tried to cover his absence with a laugh, with a clumsy gesture, as if he could erase the obvious.
