Aritz is troubled. He takes abuse and tells stories to explain his behavior. He's expansively nihilistic. Estaban is the nice guy who tries to keep Aritz from getting beat up. Estaban falls for the sadness of Aritz and at first there is also a lot of likability. They connect with Sara who has a streak of wildness and is attracted to Estaban, but is pretty unstable in her own way. As the story progresses Aritz spins more and more out of control and Estaban tries to rein him in. Aritz is needy and can't find love anywhere. He keeps asking Estaban and Sara if they love him but can't believe that anyone would or could. I found this story well put together and believable for the most part. Aritz is a charismatic sort who can draw you in.
