Three days later — 22:47

Three days pass. Clara thinks about her mother every day. About Luz. About Roberto and Ana. About all the people her mother helped. Then, at night, her phone rings with new messages.

Clara's hands go cold. This is serious. Very serious. Her mother would know what to say. But Clara doesn't know. She doesn't know at all.

Luz
Luz

I am very scared

Clara stares at the phone. Her heart is beating fast. This woman needs real help. Professional help. Legal help. Not simple advice about talking to her sister. Clara is not a mentor. She is not Luz's friend. She is not... her mother.

Voice message

Clara's eyes fill with tears. She can't do this. She can't pretend anymore. But how can she tell the truth now? When Luz needs help so badly? When tomorrow the police might come?

Clara
Clara

Yes

Clara
Clara

Talk to a lawyer

Luz
Luz

Are you sure?

Luz
Luz

Are you okay?

Luz
Luz

You sound different

Clara
Clara

I'm fine

Luz

Luz
Luz

You are not fine

Luz
Luz

What's wrong?

Clara puts her phone down on the table. Her hands are shaking. She needs to tell the truth. But she can't. Not now. Not when Luz needs help. Not when the police come tomorrow. Clara picks up the phone again. Her mother's phone. The phone of a woman who helped everyone. A woman Clara never really knew.
