“Excuse me? You what?! You’re not going down there, Mark! Are you crazy?” exclaimed Erika as soon as she heard her husband’s plan, visibly alarmed. Her reaction made it clear that he would have to postpone the idea – Mark knew that if he went ahead with it, Erika would never forgive him. Reluctantly, but understanding her concern, he finally gave in. And so, between uneasy glances and heavy silences, the couple agreed to wait a few more days… even though curiosity was eating them up inside.

A house under surveillance
Erika and Mark’s morning took place under the oppressive shadow of the police’s constant presence around the house, undermining any sense of normality that remained. Mark sat with the newspaper in his hands, but his eyes flicked through the pages without really reading, lost in his own thoughts. Erika, meanwhile, sipped her coffee slowly, trying to calm her mind, but the restlessness was not letting up. The house, which had once been her serene refuge, had become a guarded stage, where every move seemed to be watched, and the familiar routine had been replaced by a charged, tense and strange atmosphere.
