São Paulo, Brazil
It was a quiet evening in the small, overpopulated neighborhood, besides one tiny house where the lights where still on. There lived the family Montes, Amaro Montes and Yamile Montes, along with their 10 year old son and 5 year old daughter, Xever and Luna
Luna was watching from the small tv as she held her stuffed bunny, Xever was folding some clothes while keeping an eye on his sister. He looked at the clock and they were supposed to have dinner half an hour ago
"Luna?" Xever spoke as Luna turned to look at him
"I'm going to the kitchen, don't walk out of here until I'm back, ok?" Xever informed her as Luna nodded
"Ok, X"
Xever nodded as he walked out and closed the door behind him, he walked to the kitchen and saw his parents doing nothing but hanging around. He grabbed two plates and put some of the left over dinner they had and walked back into the room to feed Luna and himself
Yamile was checking the bills while Amaro was sitting on the couch watching soccer on their small tv, all that while sipping down two bottles of alcohol. The kitchen sink was full with used pans and two plates
"Woman, go clean up the kitchen!" Amaro ordered his wife
"First, get your lazy butt off the couch and do something useful for once!" Yamile snapped as she glanced over at his drunk figure
"Eh, you should talk" Amaro scoffed as he stood up and purposefully pushed into her as he walked past her
Meanwhile, their two kids were in their shared bedroom playing with Luna's dolls and the two plates were on Xever's desk. Luna held one girl doll who's left arm was missing and Xever held a boy doll who had no legs
"I'm Ms. Coco and I like to dance!" Luna said as she gave her doll a little voice
"I'm Mr. X and I'm, I'm sad" Xever replied, also giving his doll a voice as he loved to role play with the dolls with his little sister
"Why are you sad, Mr. X?" Luna asked
"Because I have no legs!" Xever replied with a slight gasp and sad tone for his doll
"Oh! Well, that's ok" Luna shrugged
"I lost my legs in the battle!" Xever continued with a scary-sounding voice while shaking his doll
"The battle?!" Luna gasped as she also shook her doll
"Yes, the battle against the bad guys!" Xever replied
"No, no bad guys" Luna replied, getting out of their role play quickly
"The bad guys had won!" Xever gasped as he made the doll shake dramatically
"If you keep talking about bad guys, I won't play with you anymore" Luna threatened with a pout while holding her doll, making Xever snicker lightly
"I've fought bravely, but I couldn't run fast enough. They took my legs, I could only walk on my hands. There was blood everywhere!" Xever fake whined as he made the doll swing and walk on its hands, making Luna laugh
"Oh, no! Eww, no blood. Blood's disgusting"
"No, it's cool" Xever shook his head with a grin
"Well, Ms. Coco is here to save the day, with her magical dress she dances around Mr. X to make him feel better" Luna giggled as she made her doll dance around Xever's doll
"And then... there'll be more blood!" Xever said as he squirted ketchup on the carpet while laughing
"Xever! That's so gross, stop!" Luna giggled
