A novel that leaves a burning question in the reader\u2019s mind: can violence ever be justified?<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Gabriel, a lucid, ironic teenager full of suppressed rage, carries since childhood an open wound: his relationship with Toni, a former friend\u2014brilliant, manipulative, and always convinced he is right. Years after Toni humiliated and cast him aside, Gabriel runs into him again. That encounter becomes a trigger: Gabriel needs to prove that sometimes he, too, can be right. The opportunity arises when he witnesses a traffic jam caused by a car double-parked in a second lane, blocking an ambulance. In that moment, he sees it clearly: something must be done. Something forceful enough to prove to Toni that sometimes Gabriel is right\u2014in this case, that violence works to change things.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Together with Fito, his childhood friend who had been pushed aside by Toni, Gabriel launches a subversive campaign: attacking double-parked cars by smashing their windshields, filming everything with a GoPro, and sharing the videos on social media. What begins as a symbolic act turns into a clandestine, visually striking, and ambitious project. They recruit Hamida, a brilliant and creative girl skilled in video editing, and later Lola, Gabriel\u2019s idealized childhood love. The campaign gains momentum, the videos go viral, and the group becomes a small activist cell fueled by adrenaline.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">But things begin to unravel. The love story that starts with Lola\u2014intense and dreamlike\u2014takes a dark turn. Gabriel begins to notice troubling signs in her behavior: manipulation, lies, and cruelty toward others. The campaign also mutates: Arturo, Lola\u2019s violent ex-boyfriend, joins with his gang, bringing a more radical and aggressive force. Violence escalates gradually. Fito, eager to stop being invisible, is drawn into Arturo\u2019s leadership, and Gabriel slowly finds himself increasingly isolated.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The breaking point comes with the brutal assault on Chema, a friend of the group whom Arturo falsely accuses of attacking one of his own at a club. From that moment on, Arturo targets him relentlessly. Aware of the danger, Gabriel hides Chema in his home, but cannot protect him: they eventually find him and beat him severely. The most devastating blow comes when Gabriel realizes that Fito, his best friend, may have been involved in the ambush. Overwhelmed with rage, he confronts him and ends up hitting him in the middle of class. The consequences are immediate: Gabriel is expelled from school. At the same time, he breaks up with Lola after discovering she has manipulated him from the beginning, using their relationship as part of a game of power and revenge.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Isolated, betrayed, and emotionally shattered, Gabriel realizes he has lost not only control of the cause, but everything that gave his life meaning. The city has begun to change\u2014the media talks about the movement, the police take action, traffic improves\u2014but no one credits him. He has lost control, his friends, love, and part of his identity.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The ending arrives with a symbolic act: Toni, as a test of friendship and a final lesson, shoots him with a paintball gun so he can experience what it means to be a victim. Gabriel finally understands that violence can never be controlled. It has left a real mark, yes\u2014but the cost has been enormous.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">RELEVANT INFORMATION:<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Pedro Riera is a Spanish writer and comic scriptwriter specializing in children\u2019s and young adult fiction.
