And the girl…
He never left.
A noise interrupted her.
Stronger this time.
Steps, again.
But this time, they were coming from upstairs.
Elvira ran upstairs.
The door was open.
And on the threshold…
There was a figure.
A girl.
Pale. Motionless. Looking at her.
—Lucía…? —Elvira whispered, not knowing why she said that name.
The girl did not respond.
But he slowly raised his arm… and pointed towards the forest.
Then he disappeared.
Elvira didn’t hesitate. She ran off in the indicated direction.
The forest was dense and dark. But something guided her.
After a few minutes, he found something buried among the roots of a tree.
A chest.
He opened it.
Inside, there were small bones.
And a necklace.
Elvira recognized him.
I had seen it in the drawings.
Lucia.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
—I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…
Suddenly, the air changed.
The wind blew strongly.
And the girl appeared in front of her.
But he no longer seemed sad.
He looked at her calmly.
