Butterflies' Corner!


The hot carioca climate, added to the winds from the south with the smell of rain, give a wonderfully natural breeze that only the state of Rio de Janeiro has. Here, many dreams and hopes are born, develop and bear fruit, but we are in a post-pandemic time, where countless people died and those who managed to survive the virus have to deal with all the losses, their psychological and mental problems. It's not easy, after the great wave of the Delta Variant at the end of 2021 and the mass vaccination in 2022. Those who are alive try to return to their normal routine, knowing they have to survive for those left behind.Whoever tries to deal with losses while sleeping is our protagonist. He insists on a painful nightly monologue to fight his sleep and become champion.
"I need to do something to get to sleep, I can't bear to toss around in bed anymore. If I try to sleep, the ghosts haunt me, if I can, the heat takes over, if I turn on the air, the cold dominates me. I'm tired, defeated, I have class, internship and so much to do for her. It's my eighth month of nightmares, my eyes nail for a few hours. The deeper my face into the bed, the more I remember those bright eyes and that soft speech. Since that miserable day, nothing but it's like before, I've lost a lot besides the sleepless nights. Maybe I should live life, but it's gotten harder and harder. Sometimes I think I'm already dead, because I keep seeing ghosts, the ghosts of my past that haunt and manifest in my sweetest dreams."
Our survivor is Fuyuki. A dark, tall, handsome and sensual guy. Effortless in body and soul, he works as a mechanic in college, in addition to an internship in a large factory in the capital of Rio de Janeiro. He owns black eyes that are increasingly empty, dark and tired. He has hair of the same color tone, but with a darker footprint and has a physique envied among boys of the same age. There is no doubt that it arouses desires in younger women and whispers among older ones.After losing the fight in yet another crushing round for the dream, our depressing protagonist gets up as he rubs his face and leaves the room. The place in question is an apartment, facing his bedroom is a bathroom, there is another bedroom on the right and a small hallway that leads to the living room on the left, where he hears a noise that those who make, certainly do not want to be heard.Fuyuki walks down the small hallway and as soon as he gets to the room, he comes across the noble Aria, his sister, all disheveled, completely beside herself. The soul left and left that body empty. She was wearing sandals in her right hand while holding a can of beer in her left hand, but she was still accompanied by three other cans of beer sprawled across her belly. Aria was sprawled on the couch after another night like that.While one mourned at home and cried in bed, the other insisted on finding refuge in the nightlife. The day after the binge was humiliating, but the day during it was a little more satisfying and it took her away from the reality she was in. She was fully aware that this was depressing, but she definitely couldn't let go. This was her new life now.
