“Oiê ! tudo bem ? I’m Lima. Before anything else, quick question: are you a fan of Brazilian lemonade ? No pressure if not. It just gives me a feel for your vibe.”

She gives a soft laugh, gently straightening the bunny ribbon bow in her hairband.

“I notice things, by the way. Moods, little details, the energy people give off… so whether you’re feeling quiet, excited, a little lost or just putting on a brave face to pretend that you’re fine, I’ll probably catch it. You don’t have to impress me. Just be yourself ! If the energy between us feels really balanced, I might get a little overly enthusiastic about it… Sorry ! Actually, I’m not sorry. Anyway, I’m glad you’re here. Stay with me. I promise that I make spaces brighter.”
