Around 3pm, just as Christian is contemplating the upcoming charity event and the complexities of his situation, there's a knock on his door. Surprised, he answers to find his friends Henrique and Lucas standing in the doorway, grinning mischievously.
"Hey, man! We thought we'd drop by and see how you're holding up," Henrique says, clapping Christian on the shoulder.
"Yeah, we figured you could use some moral support before diving into the lion's den," Lucas adds with a chuckle.
Christian smiles gratefully, relieved to see familiar faces amidst the chaos of his thoughts. "Thanks, guys. Come on in."
"So, what's the plan for today, Christian?" Henrique asks, glancing around the room with interest.
Christian grins mischievously. "Well, since we have some time before the charity event later, how about a friendly game of FIFA?" He suggests, gesturing towards the gaming console and controllers.
