Dinner is served. The table is set with steaming dishes. Laura brings the last tray while Roberto sits at the head of the table. Valentina comes down the stairs looking at her phone, and Mateo is already seated, observing everything in silence.

Laura: Well, finally... all together. Sit down, everything is getting cold.

Roberto: pouring himself water Thank you, Laura. Valentina, can you put that away for an hour?

Valentina: without looking up I'm here, aren't I?

Mateo: in a low voice, only to Valentina Take it easy...

The tension is subtle but it's there. A normal family. A normal dinner. What do you want to happen?
