From the bed, everything echoes. She hears her parents in the background, staging what seems like a pitched battle in the kitchen. And it's only breakfast. Her mouth is dry and she knows she's lost her voice. Officially, she welcomes adulthood with her first hangover. She imagined them better. Her body feels bruised and she starts to feel embarrassed about yesterday's dancing. Suddenly, something fully wakes her up and reveals a throbbing headache. It's not the juice machine. In the square, they've started playing the gralla. She feels bad for being unable to get up to see it on her way to get bread, but, above all, she regrets not living in a more remote place that morning.
