Jorge's pov

*I was stunned. What was that? I turned at Tini who was looking at me desperately...*

T: The thing is...

J: Tell me everything.

T: Sit down please

*I sat on the couch and she sat next to me*

T: I will tell you something that must stay only between us two.

J: Okay, I will keep it for myself. I swear.

T: I am... not from here

J: What? I don't understand

T: I am not from this place.

J: Where are you from then?

T: I'm from the future.

*I wanted to laugh and say that she must be joking but she was serious. And I heard it in that shiny thing too, from the person inside it... am I going crazy? Is this a fever dream?*

J: You travelled in time?

T: Yes. I don't belong here. I am from the 21st century, around 60 years from now on.

J: How?

T: Can I make something to drink? For both of us, then I will tell you everything.

J: Y-yes, sure

*She left me and went to the kithen. I don't know. I'm more confused than before. I knew that she is strange. Her clothes, attitude, her song too... the genre and musical structure was different. She came back with two cups and placed them in front of me*

J: Please, tell me the whole story

T: In my time, I am an actress and singer. My dad is an inventor but none of his things worked. One day, I saw him working on a big machine. I was curious and pressed some buttons on the remote control. The machine dragged me in and I got here.

J: And you can't leave?

T: No, my dad doesn't know how to get me back. And the bubble you've seen before... I don't know exactly what it is but it informs me about the situation in my world

*She had tears in her eyes while telling me the truth. All confusion aside, I hugged her tight. She didn't pull away and even hugged me back.*

T: Thank you

*She mumbled in my shirt, trying to calm down her sobs.*

T: I didn't lie to you about anything else. My name, age, everything I said was true. But you understand why I couldn't tell you about this, right?

J: I do. I understand it now.

T: I'm sorry for causing trouble. As soon as my dad fixes the machine, I will leave

J: This is your home now too. Stay as long as you want.
