There is something that I learned over time, and that is that the friends we make are not a coincidence. Maybe you've heard that before, but I realized that none of the important people in our lives arrive at random. Obviously, of the friends we have, it is very likely that they share something with us that is easy to notice, such as: sharing our musical tastes, or our same hobbies. But have you ever wondered how great what we share with others can be? While someone is closer to us, whether it is our best friend, or someone we love very much; I think we share things on a deeper level. Someone very close may not only share our tastes, but also something we have never realized. We may share a way of thinking about something specific, or we may even share the same problem that we have in a relationship. It may also be that what would make us the happiest in the world is something similar; and maybe, just maybe, we may even share a pain that no one knows, and that only that other could understand...

And after this thought, it is time to return to our story: One day after Javier and Cristal became friends with Jukas, the sun began to rise in the city of La Paz, giving place to a new dawn. And in one of the many houses in this city, there was a girl of around 7 or 8 years old, with dark skin and long hair, drinking a freshly served cup of tea, and eating a marraqueta to accompany it; quite a nice combination if you ask me. The girl grumbled while she ate:

—I can't believe a young girl has it! You imagine?

—Hey, but... you're a young girl too, right? —a boy of around 25 years of age and big size responded; who was entering the kitchen where breakfast was—. I don't see the big problem...

—Edward! You know what I mean! —the girl responded, while she chewed her bread, throwing a tremendous tantrum—. Do you realize how dangerous it is?

—Come on, Mai, I think it's under control, otherwise we would have known about her a long time ago

—Come on, Mai, I think it's under control, otherwise we would have known about her a long time ago. We just have to keep an eye on her and keep looking for the others —Edward began to heat the water to serve his breakfast.
