he doesn’t want to be around anyone and he's sure as hell doesn’t want any company, he’s been called by the close people in his circle who know of his downfall on this particular day, so it’s known that he wants to be alone and does not want any interruptions but it seems that there is one person that doesn’t seem to get the message : LUCIANA LABAKI. though he doesn’t mind it because she’s not annoying ( at least , not to an extent ) and she’s known the jaramillo’s for years now , they just became the best of friends since their first interaction and after all these years , their routine hasn’t changed. he doesn’t even realize when she speaks if it wasn’t because of the sound of heels on the wooden floor , his head looks up momentarily ❝ it says " don’t fucking enter " I forgot your women brain forgets how to read from time to time . ❞ he’s being a dick but she’s used to this , because no matter how much he pushes , no matter how much he says he wants to be alone , it’s actually the complete opposite and having luciana’s company is exactly what he needs , not that he would ever admit it to her : she would never let him outlive it . he doesn’t even protest when she takes the cigar from his fingers and takes a puff herself and then it returns to his digits and he leans his head against the wall looking at the next frame , it’s him and mafe sleeping on top of their mother at the hospital while their father and her talk about names ❝ oh please . . . was hot back then , still hot ! ❞ even if his funk , his ego still needs to be stroked but her remaining prose causes a sigh to escape from his brims ❝ no se —— part of me wonders if she’s proud of us —— of me ? but then I think of all the bad shit we have done —— she got me you know ? ❞ he stops and looks at the brunette beside him ❝ when they found out that I had this stupid heart defect , it all changed - papa looked at me like I was an abomination and the only ones who really loved me were mama and mafe and little by little , I can’t remember moments we shared , what if I forget her completely , what happens then , huh ? she took with her all of my good things , ella era mi vida , luciana ------ ❞ he stops and it comes crashing down again , his mood shifts to one of raging anger and he drops the cigar getting up to go , to leave , as long as he was alone right ?
