The PDF hesitated. The screen went black. Then, slowly, a living room materialized. She saw herself—five years older—laughing with someone whose face was blurred. A child ran across the rug. A dog barked. The future Sofía looked directly at the screen and smiled, as if she knew she was watching.
But one night, lonely and tired, she typed: Somewhere I am loved.
She touched the trackpad.
