Elsewhere...
Someone woke up from a horrific nightmare. He looked out his window and saw people lined up in a procession.
He muttered:
"Uh... I forgot about the procession."
He looked at his phone and found many messages... He didn't read any of them.
.
Then the sound of the bell rang out:
Resonance... Resonance...
Silos shouted in astonishment:
"Oh my God! Who is it? Who is it?"
Lina (His wife) said in a loud voice:
"I'll open the door."
She opened the door and said:
"Hello, Big Sister!"
Valeria crossed her arms and said in a solemn tone
"Hello... Where is Silos? Why didn't he reply to my messages? The royal procession is about to begin, and we must be present. Is he awake or asleep?"
Lina sighed :
"Aaaah..."
Silos came down the stairs, his eyes half open and looked at Valeria.
Valeria said as she approached him:
"Where have you been? Why didn't you answer?"
Silos replied inattentively :
"I was watching out the window and thinking a lot about reality."
She raised her eyebrows and said sharply:
"Watching out the window? And what about the letters? Why didn't you reply to them?"
Silos replied:
"I was focused... I was so focused that I didn't notice the phone."
Valeria raised her hands and said with a smile:
"Ugh… well, the procession hasn't started yet. If you'll excuse me, little sister, my husband and I will be heading to work… as you know, I am the supervisor."
She said it while tilting her head slightly, smiling a faint, deliberate smile, and emphasizing the last word with a provocative tone; as if she were throwing a tiny arrow, just to see his expression flare with irritation.
Silos looked at her with displeasure and said:
"Oh my God... You know, Valeria, that I hate people who come down to me!"
Valeria laughed and said cheerfully:
"I know that, but I like to provoke you."
Silos said goodbye to his wife, and Lena waved to him, saying:
"Goodbye... And take care of yourselves."
