me getting to this in the middle of a reading rut like that tiktok audio - FINALLY some good fucking food !! reading the dialogue between molina and valentin felt like reading a play and i really loved how much those snippets highlighted those small moments of intimacy between them. weird time in my personal life to be reading it (lol) but also feel like that's why it resonated so much. 

yk the vibes time for a quote i liked: "'but don't you suffer even more, after having been so happy but then winding up with nothing?' 'molina, there's one thing to keep in mind. in a man's life, which may be short and may be long, everything is temporary. nothing is forever.'" :'))))
