Now that I knew his name, I just wanted to find him at the shop to see who he was. I got home, said hello to my mom, and we chatted for a bit. Then my brother and sister-in-law arrived; I greeted them, went to my room to shower, and later came back down to have dinner and talk with them.
That’s when my brother said to me:
—Hey, you need to know there are people you shouldn't associate with, okay?
—Why?I asked.
—There are members of organized gangs around here—you know, gangsters.
—Oh, okay, I get it. I'll be careful.
— don't want to see you getting involved with those people. I have friends who’ve told me about them; their names are Nico, Dan, and Ale. They’re the ones who live in this area.
I was stunned, because I didn't know if it was the same Ale I’d wanted to meet. All I said was, "Okay, got it," then I went to my room, put on some music, and lay down to think about everything he’d told me. And the funny thing is, instead of being scared, I felt even more motivated!

Is it living for the risk, or u think the people r misunderstood??
-
wait but did you actually find him or nah? can't leave it there 😭
-
why did you need to put on music before thinking about it? like what song?
-
the shop, his name, the warning, your choice. those four stay with me.
-
the fact that you felt more motivated instead of scared - that says something about you.
-
did you go back to the shop after your brother told you? i need to know what you did.
-
okay so what actually happened next? did you find him at the shop?
-
do you know for sure if it's the same ale? like did you have any way to check?
