Others watched, tense.

He walked into the boardroom.

Diego was already there.

Sitting at the head of the table.

Calm.

Like he belonged there.

No answer.

“Sit down,” Diego said.

Not a suggestion.

A folder slid across the table.

“Your reality.”

Álvaro opened it.

His face shifted.

Confusion.

Disbelief.

Then fear.
