My friend Luis/Max 11 Everything comes to an end

The house where Tomás, Marcos, Max, and Lúa lived was silent that night, illuminated only by the faint light of a full moon that bathed the garden and their doghouse. In the air floated a mixture of calm and nostalgia, a sensation that only time —the great weaver of stories— can create when closing a cycle.

They had lived together through many seasons, and with each one, love grew in unexpected ways. However, fear, that inevitable shadow, was always present, reminding them of the fragility of that happiness that seemed so solid. They remembered with sadness Luis, who had given himself completely to being Max, abandoning a part of himself to embrace the freedom and peace he found in his purest form. But they also understood that in that surrender was the essence of true love: sacrifice and complete acceptance.

The tragedy that was once a game of hypnosis became the basis for a unique family, a refuge where everyone found their place, even Kitty, who finally dissolved into conscious oblivion, making space for light and the present.

Tomás watched Max and Lúa in the garden, running and playing under the moon, while Marcos observed him with a soft smile, relieved and grateful for that home they had built. Their hands intertwined, a silent pact of love and mutual support.

—I never imagined that love could be like this —Tomás whispered—. Rare, imperfect, but real and wonderful.

Marcos nodded, and Max, from his refuge, lifted his head and let out a happy bark, as if blessing that moment.

In that instant, they understood that happiness was not a total absence of fear or tragedy, but the courage to continue loving and taking care of each other, even when the circumstances were unconventional and the paths, uncertain.

The peace they felt was deep, accompanied by the firm heartbeat of the love that sustained them in every step.

Farewells from the characters

Luis (in his essence as Max):

—Goodbye to the human I was, welcome to the pure life of this dog. In each bark, I carry my joy and my truth. I am happy, I am free, I am Max.

Tomás:

—Thank you for the love you taught me and the family I never imagined. Every day with you is a gift, and although I miss the Luis who was, I find peace in taking care of Max and loving Marcos. Here I leave my heart.

Marcos:

—This home and this story changed who I am. I learned to love without fear and to accept the impossible. Thank you for the trust and companionship. I will continue to take care of you, with all my being.

Max:

—Woof, woof (thank you for taking care of me, for that limitless love that makes me run happy. I will always be faithful and part of this family).

Kitty:

—Meow, silent goodbye. I dissolve into the light of the present, free forever from fears, carrying with love the memory of this home.

Lúa:

—Thank ...
