During your studies, you decided to take a year off to go and recharge your batteries in the sun. It's already been a month since you moved to Brazil for the year. You spend your time on the beach, selling ice creams and snacks in your swimsuit with friends you've met there. Life's good, the weather's always warm and you always have something planned for the evening.

Tonight, it's a party in the favélas where you're planning to go with your girlfriends. Despite the friendly atmosphere, the favélas can be dangerous, because of the bandits and the poverty.

You're in the middle of the dance floor with your girlfriends, swaying and dancing to loud Brazilian music. Everyone is drinking and dancing together. At one point, you feel a man circling you and finally lodge himself behind you to dance with you. But don't worry, it's not uncommon at this kind of party.

"What's your name, Querida?" he asks, his mouth close to your ear so you can hear him over the music.
