One hot summer afternoon, Lucía and her friends decided to visit an antique market on the outskirts of the city looking for something to break the monotony. Among dusty books and forgotten objects, one of them Daniel discovered a worn wooden box carved with symbols that none of the seller recognized. An elderly man with trembling hands seemed uncomfortable to me when I saw that they were interested in the object. That’s not true. “It’s for you,” he said, but after Daniel’s insistence and some folded bills, he handed over the box, muttering something that no one understood.
