One night in Lagoa da Italianinha, Cássia was in the bathtub when her sister Lúcia appeared and said:
"Cássia, you’ve been in there for two hours. Get out and put on your pajamas."
"I don't want to..."
"Cássia, it’s really cold. You might catch a cold."
"Let it be..."
Lúcia said:
"I’ve noticed you seem strange and pensive—what happened?"
"I don't know... people are getting worse every day. Today I saw two people fighting in the square."
"Love has grown cold; it says so in the Bible."
Cássia wanted to cry, and Lúcia wanted to hug her sister, but she risked getting wet. After much effort, Lúcia managed to convince Cássia to get out of the tub, change clothes, take her medicine, and go to sleep.
