Chapter 42 - Reflections

Spilling water all over the floor, Fausto, with nothing else except his towel, takes a look at himself in the mirror. "I guess I have been in there for a long time", he says to himself while he looks at his overgrown beard. He caresses his facial hair and feels how scruffy it is to the touch. Compared to his usually clean shaven face, having a beard adds more of a appeal to Fausto face. He begins to contort his facial features in weird a multitude of fashions while looking at the mirror, admiring and thinking, "Hey, I don't look that bad with a little hair on my face." However, the more he looked at himself, the more he grew self-conscious about his appearance, "Man, nevermind. I look like an asshole." So he reaches for a razor and his can of shaving cream and he begins to revert back to his normal look.
