To celebrate his newfound "freedom," his sister bought him a round-the-world plane ticket. But freedom terrified Dani. He was a man of routines and morals, a man who followed the rules because he didn't know how to do anything else. That changed on his last night in town.
What started as a spontaneous encounter quickly spiraled into a claustrophobic nightmare. Mila led him into a dark, neon-soaked world of underground clubs and questionable characters. In a moment of high-tension and blurred lines, Dani found himself in a violent confrontation.
It wasn't supposed to happen. It was self-defense—or at least, that’s what he told himself as he stared at the blood on his hands.
The rest of the night became a frantic, breathless race to "clean up the mess". Every choice he made to protect his old life only pulled him deeper into a new one. The man who had never broken a law was now scouring an apartment for evidence and dodging shadows in the Barcelona alleys.
Dani had spent the last several years of his life in a quiet, selfless loop. He was the "good son," the one who stayed behind in Barcelona to care for his dying father while the rest of the world moved on. When his father finally passed, Dani felt less like a free man and more like a ghost haunting his own life.
While sitting in a quiet diner, Dani met . She was everything he wasn't: unstable, magnetic, and dangerous. She asked him to pay for her breakfast because she "forgot" her wallet, and then she asked for a ride. Dani, unable to say no, agreed.
