Marcos arriva in albergo a tarda notte. È stanco. Posa la valigia. Una donna è seduta alla reception.
"Ho una prenotazione," dice. "Mi chiamo Marcos Soto." La donna scrive al computer. La sua faccia cambia.
"Mi dispiace. La tua camera non è pronta. Ma abbiamo una camera con balcone." Gli dà la chiave.
L'ascensore è vecchio. Fa rumore. Marcos apre la porta. Vede la città: tetti, luci e una fontana.
Va sul balcone. Il vento è freddo. Due persone stanno vicino alla fontana. Marcos le guarda.
That's the story.
