## Summary

### Ep 01: Criminal Perception:

Andrés is a young teacher who works in schools located in areas of social risk, motivated by the idea of bringing a better education to a youth vulnerable to follow the path of violence and delinquency, he tries to approach his students without good results leading him to believe that the lack of interest of the students in this idea is his fault.

One day on his way home from class, he is accosted by a man who tries to rob him with a gun and in an act of self-defense ends up pushing the man's hand that was holding the gun when he pulled the trigger, causing him to shoot himself and kill himself.

This act is witnessed by the neighbors of the place and Andres is taken to the police station where he is found guilty of murder and therefore, prosecuted. Having lost the compassion of the rest, he is seen as a murderer by society, making him want to take his own life before being taken to prison.

It is at that moment when a man of great stature, who does not seem to be someone from the prison, offers him help, assuring him that he knows what happened and that he wants to help him get out of there to give him a new identity and a job in his agency. At first, Andres rejects this offer but during the days following his release he has trouble finding a job because of his now tarnished record, so he decides to accept to work with this man in order to have a momentary income and pay all the bills and debts he has.

### The Neighbor

He can't run very fast due to an accident he had as a child. After the knee operation he regained mobility but still feels some effects, this can be seen in the story.

Once inside the business, Andres learns that he has just taken a job with a mafia that deals in everything from drugs to organs.  As he gathers more information about the entities and the paranormal events occurring in the world, Andres makes the decision, along with Eunice, to keep the entities that are trying to unleash chaos in the world at bay; hiding from Villalobos while working for him.

One day, Andres comes across a girl named Eunice who came from Equatorial Guinea with a goal that seems to be related to Villalobos, Andres realizes this and thinks she may be an agent of a rival mafia so he decides to use a false name to mislead. Andres introduces himself as Alberto.

### There is not enough room for infinite infinities.

He and Eunice are attacked by an individual who has the power to turn an idea (that has already been heard by the person) into a kind of parasite that lodges in an unconscious plane that is not physical. These parasites are in charge of controlling and unifying all the other people who have also heard the idea, generating an army of creatures without the ability to think under a symbolic connection.

Andrew discovers that the infected people are now empty shells, as they have no consciousness due to the parasite. He and Eunice try to fight the effect while floating in an empty dimension that has opened up. The scholar floats away in this strange space unable to regain his sanity. The number of people without consciousness continues to increase and the planetary mass seems to continue to grow unchecked. Andrew is tempted to follow in the footsteps of the kidnapper who blew his head off, but he tries to fight against this. At that, Eunice ends up getting closer and the wires emanating from her head make contact with Andres' and end up sticking to the line of people.

Then, Andres wakes up in a completely different place from where he was. Although there is no trace of the planetary mass, he encounters Eunice who tells him that she discovered that their minds are currently in a period of "dormancy" or inactivity due to the parasites.

### The Inaudible Room

Andres and Eunice arrive at the building with the mission to finish with the members that reside there by orders of Villalobos. There he discovers that the building has the peculiarity of not allowing sounds to escape from inside. When deciding how to get out of the mafia world and kill Villalobos before he exterminates them, Andres asks Eunice that he just needs a moment to think things over and to please "have faith in him" no matter what, because sooner or later he will find a solution.

Upon learning that Villalobos had been planning to "get rid of him" once Andres wasn't useful for his plans anymore, Andres decides to kill him first. So he plans with Eunice to betray Villalobos at an opportune moment, before he gets stronger. Eunice decides to help him as revenge for what Villalobos did to her father years before.

### Re-start

Finally, Andres leaves a burnt copy of his body and escapes from the place. When the police arrive on the premises they find the body and assume that Andres is dead. At no time did they manage to discover his name. When the patrol car takes the body to perform the autopsy, it disintegrates inside the car without the police noticing. Andres thinks that these last months have been horrible but that if he managed to survive such danger, he will be able to overcome any obstacle that comes his way. Some time after things calmed down, he started a home-based food business. Now Andres is confident that no one from the Underground Mafia would try to track him down. At that, Eunice, who had already recovered from her injuries, offers to help him by preparing a dough when she realizes that Andres didn't know how to make it well. Andres asks her what she plans to do from now on, to which Eunice replies that she will think about it after making sure that the kitchen does not explode due to some carelessness of Andres. Then they both wonder if the Underground mafia has really disappeared, since they think that it will only be a matter of time before someone becomes the new boss of another criminal gang and injustice continues as usual. Andres remains silent for a few minutes and thinks it would be best not to interfere anymore, since he alone could not fight with all the "evil" that exists in this world. Finally they both reject this idea since it would only perpetuate this injustice that they hate and that has affected their lives so much. So they decide that they will do everything in their power to ensure that this evil does not get out of control in society, from outside the mafia as ordinary civilians.
