Summary
João is used to change. Life’s little interventions.
His mother’s phone calls last two hours, rather than the promised ten minutes. The "healthy food shop" means chocolate and wine to make up for a terrible day, and one-night stands go from bad to worse.
Day by day his patience wears thin, until a new face throws him off course, and shakes up his small, grey world.

Summary
No matter how real the illusions may seem, bar Escape is an escape, nothing more. For a moderate sum one can go back in time, even into the future. They can explore distant lands or make-believe realms.
For regular João, that part is nice but not needed. All he craves is a break from reality, and a chance to be with the man that he loves.

Summary
Abel grows older, wearier in the office, wondering where and when the decline began. He's fallen into a limbo he can't seem to escape, but he might yet be saved by his sister's bold plan.
She suggests a trip to a shop on the other side of town. A grove where walls are covered in treasures, and its owner embodies a spirit like the stars up high—a brilliance so strange, unknown to Abel, yet well within his reach.

Summary
“What can I get you?” the blond asked.
“A nice, tall glass of Dutch loving would be a good start,” Gabriel responded. It earned a light scoff—a secret laugh.
“Is he okay?” Abel then proceeded, enquiring naturally about Antonio. He was used to Gabe's ways. “Didn’t see you come in. Is he here?”
“Yeah, he’s next door, probably talking to himself and having a little moan about being here,” Gabriel lamented with a shrug. “He reckons I might get a bit… distracted.”
“That so?”
“Of course,” he said. “There’s an irresistible bartender that I’m struggling to keep my hands off.”

Summary
The chap in the suit began to talk and talk away, papers flapping in his hand, as he attempted to speak to the man in charge.
The Sun, however—El Sol, in all his golden glory—followed a gesturing hand. His sights were suddenly set on Arthur. Arthur, who now felt like a planet in orbit. A planet blessed by the Sun’s attention. A planet at risk of becoming a bit too warm.
He may have to play his cards more carefully than initially anticipated…

“Do you know what tonight is?” the blond finally mused.
“The night you decide you no longer wish to answer any of the questions I ask?” Antonio quipped.
“Ah— A mere coincidence,” Arthur assured him, a smile briefly stretching, before he said, “Tonight’s moon is set to be full and bright.”
The word was an arrow in the chest.

Summary
He had prayed for a swift and dignified death, but it seemed that such prayers were to be left unanswered. It was a foreboding thought. For what could such silence mean for his soul after this lifetime was over…?
Overhead, a gull cawed. A blessed breeze tickled his face.
The kind, gentle sea carried him on.
