The narrow streets were a normal and perishable glimpse of city life; every city begins with a street, lined with shops characteristic of a unity seeking somethier for their daily lives. That was Lux Animation, a business city that began to trace a living form, all posed by the explicit desire of a future pany, which left behind traditional lights aered more vivid modern eras shaped by different forms.

  I did not expect to see you these days, son. - said Thomas Carson, the first signs of old age beginning to shrink him; the brown mane, now gray, gave him a formal and inviting air to his father Richard Carson.

  -Good m, father. - said Billy, shaking his hand carefully, a corresponding greeting den with emotions.

  Both moved to the living room, not before Margot served them twsses of bck coffee, a vice passed down by aors. There were no apparent words that broke the silence; only the soft sipping and the gentle ks of the por used by Billy—a gift.

  As if on a chilling Sunday when spirits are not seemingly joyful, and words are silent, p over impending matters and the dark lives that could go astray, the two only anticipated their words and refrained from responding to the call of word and unication, broken only by the work that ast habit.

  They drank calmly, not exging even a word, but everything was said in one way or another.

  -I'll be back ter. - said Thomas, finishing the served coffee cup and walking towards the Lux Animation pany's ter; the trial against Warner Brothers in the air, Warner's staunch position in geing deys, engaging the legal team, extending the trial, and unig various unofficial notices as a legal activity pushed Thomas Carson to the limits of patience. He found himself overwhelmed by all the legal loopholes that existed in rules and jurisprudeo the point of fog on small objectives, and that was to exploit the agreements, alleging an abusive cuse due to the repurchase cuse, after the money ied for creation.

  Initially, such a broad term seemed excessive, but now it was justified that it was a very short time and a plete fraud by Lux ics against the helpless Warner.

  Billy tinued w in his position, while a group in an offiearby tinued pleting the remaining chapters and volumes of Lux ics' series.

  Thomas returned around three hours ter, with a folder and a practical and straightforward traceability. How does it differ? It's not his job, but when he receives the news from his son, he es in a hurry to test the waters, which already seemed muddy, due to the hidden words between them.

  -Everything is going well, I hope. - said Billy, knowing one of the reasons for his father's visit.

  -One more case; uainty is reat friend. - said Thomas.

  -Everything is in our pns. - said Billy, crypti his words.

  Taking a seat this time, in front of Billy's rge desk, a solid oak that allowed drawing with all the freedom that only a rge space allowed, Thomas adjusted his posture, with elbows oable.

  -I am getting married. - he finally blurted out.

  -I am aware of that. - said Billy.

  -Do not tempt me, Billy. Unfortunately, I know you as much as one day you will e to know your children, if you raise them as I raised you. - said Thomas.

  -I know you too. - said Billy.

  -It's not a battle of wills, boy; I packed ys, all your things are in boxes, found a nice pce for you to live in San Jose, not far from here, about half an hour, the ercial district that opened a few days ago, there is a lot of nd there, and I see business as you have seen it; you like to py with money like those old-time oilmen, 'words of yrandfather,' don't judge me, judge yrandfather. - said Thomas.

  -I do what I was taught, that a bad deal is not made, and a good deal is taken by the neot released. A bit traditional, for cowboys. For now, I still think I'm doing well. What's the pce? - the boy finally questioned.

  -Santana Row, as brilliant as you are, you will discover what I am talking about. - said Thomas.

  -I see. I'll be filming new ses in Los Angeles month and then in New York. I'll take a break in August, but the fashion week I have to attend is iember. - said Billy.

  -You should ge your home in Los Ahat one is already too small for you. - said Thomas.

  -For now, it will do. - said Billy, ign his father's words.

  -You'll have two siblings by October of this year, or early November. Even if you feel unfortable, they are still your siblings. - said Thomas.

  Seeing the gleaming eyes, Thomas interrupted his son, avoiding cutting words and misuandings typical of those they had when they were in plete disagreement.

  -Cudia is going to Europe; she ends up liking Europe, although Livy disapproves. Her life is no longer in California. However, you shouldn't bme her, son. I tied my noose and made a mistake that now she only scream with happiness about. My life seemed lost; never let work be a priority. In my fears, maybe I was wrong. Now I see that it was a good mistake. I regret causing problems. - said Thomas Carson, although his words sounded like a poorly-read legal part, it was an awakening for both men who felt more tired after the spoken words.

  -I uand, father. I will do everything possible to be there on the corresponding dates. You have already achieved yoals; oher hand, I am still pursuing moals. - said Billy.

  -Don't fet to visit yrandparents. - said Thomas, getting up and leaving. The versation had a healing effect; time would cure everything.

  Leaving Billy's new pce paperwork, along with the papers, credits, and offers he made—a small farewell gift. The obvious price was not paid, but everything was in order, just as he had spoken on numerous occasions, ughing about credit and the art of making money. A five-story building, aire floor for Billy, and a proposal for three luxury floors, followed, of course, by three rge ercial spaces, already set aside for a ore, a restaurant, and an Armani store that were iiations.

  He could only think of someone who would live in a bachelor apartment. - Raimon. - Both entered, and the two would make the deal.
