As the clock strikes 10 pm, Marilena feels the exhaustion of the day weigh heavily upon her. The events of the evening, coupled with the emotional turmoil stirred up by Rafael's unexpected visit, leave her feeling drained both physically and emotionally.
With a heavy sigh, she rises from the couch, her muscles protesting as she stretches out the kinks from hours of tension. Glancing around the dimly lit room, she feels a sense of unease settle over her, the shadows dancing along the walls casting eerie shapes that seem to mirror the uncertainty in her heart.
Deciding it's best to put the events of the evening behind her, Marilena makes her way to the bedroom, the soft glow of lamplight casting a warm, inviting aura over the room. She changes into her pajamas with practiced ease, relishing the comfort of the familiar routine as she prepares for bed.
