When Marcos returned, no one held it against him—not even Jorge.

It was the famous return of Marcos, though it wasn’t the only one of its kind. However, this was the only one tied to friendship.

After recounting this, Lucas paused and took a sip of his drink. Sandra, still listening attentively, remarked:
“–The first but not the last—who would’ve thought?” she said, raising her arms.

After regrouping, the group found themselves with new goals, as two of Lucas's good friends, Pablo and Roberto, entered the scene. They were his track teammates, and Lucas had a great relationship with them. He invited them to hang out with the group a few times, and soon they started meeting regularly.

Unlike Lucas and the others, Pablo and Roberto didn’t live in the same town. They came from a neighboring village called Villa-Arriba. One day, Pablo invited the group to spend a day there, and that was how the Villa-Arriba saga began.
