Starglow Basin Man from Sayula

i'm not going to hurt you, the man from saylua promises.

how many times has soto promised the same, holding the knife behind his back?

he licks his lips. it's good to be suspicious, but if this man is a friend, being too suspicious is a good way to ward him off. soto must find the thin line to walk between vigilance and camaraderie, knowing a single misstep seals his undoing.

but the man speaks things known to him. so soto relents. soto. he exchanges, deciding for spark-note summary of his current condition (read: proper fucked).

juarez y nino estan muertos. the second, soto had witnessed. the first was inferred by his atypical absence. nos estamos escondiendo, sanando. los enemigos del norte se movieron contra nosotros.
