Episode: 5
Sofía and Mateo stop Lucía on a campus walkway to question why she has not returned home. Lucía tells Sofía to get lost and brushes off Mateo's objections. A flashback shows a shy Lucía handing Mateo a love letter near a piano. Back outside, Sofía's friend mocks Lucía for that memory. Lucía slaps the friend and walks off. Above them, Adrián and Héctor watch from an office window.
Sofía and Mateo stop Lucía on the path to question her absence from home. Lucía bluntly tells Sofía to get lost. When Mateo steps up to defend Sofía, Lucía directly counters him without backing down.
In a flashback, Mateo plays the piano in a music classroom as classmates watch. A timid Lucía walks toward him across the room. She approaches Mateo and hands him a love letter in front of the other students.
Sofía's friend mocks Lucía for believing Mateo would ever return her feelings. Lucía delivers a hard slap across the girl's face. She orders Mateo to step aside and walks away from them down the path.
From an office window above, Adrián and Héctor watch Lucía deliver the slap. An older school official comes into the room carrying library expansion documents. The official thanks Adrián for visiting the school while Adrián looks down outside.
“It is my freedom of speech.”
“Then slapping your face is my freedom of action.”
“See? Hitting like that, I wonder if her hand hurts.”
The episode ends in the executive office as an older administrator enters with library expansion paperwork and thanks Adrián for his visit. Adrián remains seated near the window, keeping his attention fixed on Lucía down below. What will Adrián do next now that he has crossed paths with Lucía on this campus?
