She is kind and considerate with a sarcastic side born from frustration over her unjust reputation. When people try to socialize with her, she is skeptic about their intentions, but not so much that it limits her ability to make new friends.

She is not the first student to dislike where her story is taking her, but she is the only one in her class to take actions towards free will: starting with the small step of pursuing her love of music, a subject usually reserved for good princesses. After the chaos that was created she goes to have her usual chat with her mother yet something was peculiar in her mothers mirror prison it did not show anything but a hand that reached out.

Will she take it?

Story:

Taking place after II 17, Meeple began to fall on hard times without the power from the Prime Shimmer. Thus, Cobs searched for a new way to improve Meeple’s products. Instead of looking for answers in space, he searched for answers underground, leading him to find an unknown substance called Ichor. Using the ichor, any and all creations that were connected to Melife could live without the program being unplugged or destroyed. The project was successful, spawning 32 experiments. However, 6 of them became unstable. One of them now roams the shadows around Meeple. It’s unknown what the future for Meeple holds from this point on, but Cobs hopes to make it work.

The Experiment

Jake slammed his bottle down on the sticky bar top, foam sloshing over the rim. “Bro, I’m telling you—if they had gone for the field goal, they could’ve won in OT.”

Ethan snorted, tossing a peanut into his mouth and leaning back in his chair like he owned the place. “Yeah, and if your mom had wheels, she’d be a skateboard.”

Jake rolled his eyes. “That doesn’t even make sense.”

“Neither does going for the field goal when you're down six.”

They were two beers deep, parked in a half-crowded college bar with TVs blasting the game, sticky floors underfoot, and the warm haze of fried food and cheap alcohol clinging to the air. Jake and Ethan had known each other since freshman year—randomly assigned roommates who somehow never drifted apart. Both were average guys in their early twenties: lean, a little scrawny, clean-shaven, definitely not gym bros. Jake had messy brown hair and wore flannel unironically. Ethan was the hoodie and ballcap type, always smelling faintly like Axe and microwave burritos.

They were comfortable. Close in that way straight dudes sometimes get when they’ve lived together too long and stopped caring about personal space.

Jake lifted his drink. “Anyway, here’s to failing midterms and pretending our fantasy league matters.”

They clinked. A stranger behind the bar—tall, broad, a little too smooth—leaned over with a smirk.

“Next round’s on the house. You two look like you’ve earned it.”

Jake blinked. “Wait, really?”

The guy just winked and set two shots in front of them. Neon green. Smelled like sour apples and something stronger beneath.

“Bottoms up,” Ethan grinned, already grabbing his.

Jake hesitated for half a second, then shrugged. “Screw it. Cheers.”

They threw them back.

The world twisted sideways.

Jake’s vision went watery, sound stretching like molasses. The buzz he’d been nursing all night slammed into something else—stronger, wronger. His stomach flipped. Ethan’s voice reached him like it was underwater.

“Dude… I think I’m—”

Darkness.

**???

Jake woke up gagged and groggy, head pounding. The fluorescent lighting above him hummed cold and relentless. He blinked, squinting through the blur. His arms were strapped to a chair. Heavy leather cuffs around his wrists, his ankles, something tight across his chest.

Panic flared instantly.

He tried to jerk free—nothing. Next to him, Ethan groaned, eyes fluttering open. “What the hell...?”

They were in a clean, metallic room. The air smelled like antiseptic, but underneath that—something... raw. Animal. Jake’s nostrils twitched.

A voice crackled through the speaker overhead. Calm. Smooth. Clinical.

“Subject 014 and 015 awake. Excellent.”

A door hissed open.

In walked a man in a lab coat, holding a clipboard. Mid-forties maybe, with perfectly slicked-back hair and round glasses perched on a nose that screamed I don’t get out much.

“Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Dr. Halvorsen. You’ve been selected for the Masculine Optimization Project. Please do not be alarmed.”

Jake’s heart hammered. “You can’t do this! Let us go, you psycho!”

The doctor clicked his pen. “Typical subject response. Don’t worry. In time, you’ll be thanking me.”

Ethan barked out a laugh, though it sounded more like fear. “Yeah, okay. And I suppose this is all legal?”

“Your consent,” Dr. Halvorsen replied smoothly, “has already been obtained. Retroactively. You’ll find the body has its own ways of adapting to new truths.”

He tapped his clipboard.

“Let’s begin.”

Needles. Machines humming. A faint gas seeping from hidden vents. The restraints stayed on, but warmth spread through their limbs—tingling, deep, strange. Like their muscles were being rewired from the inside out.

Jake felt it first in his chest. A subtle pressure. A slow pulsing beneath the skin, like something was waking up.

Ethan groaned. “Dude… something’s wrong.”

“Yeah,” Jake muttered, his voice already a little rougher. “No shit.”

Dr. Halvorsen stood just outside the glass now, watching.

“Subject 014: increased androgenic response. Subject 015: early euphoria signs noted.”

Jake’s throat tightened. He could feel sweat beading under his arms—and the weird thing? His armpits itched. Not like irritation. Like… something was growing.

A lot of something.

“Let me out,” Jake hissed.

But Ethan?

Ethan was grinning.

“Dude,” he chuckled, sluggishly. “I feel... kinda awesome.”

Jake looked over. Ethan’s upper lip had a faint dusting of stubble. His cheeks were flushed, his eyes hazy.

Jake’s gut dropped.

This was only the beginning.

Jake couldn’t tell if it had been hours or days. The lights never changed. The cold metal chair was swapped out eventually for a narrow cot in a white-walled room, maybe eight feet by eight. No windows. Just a steel door with a meal tray slot.

They weren’t restrained anymore. Not physically. But they still couldn’t leave.

Jake sat cross-legged on his cot, staring at the untouched meal on the tray.

Steak. Mashed potatoes. A heap of something greasy and fried. And a glass of thick, chalky-looking protein shake.

It reeked—like garlic, butter, and something he couldn’t name. Not bad. Just... strong.

Across the room, Ethan was already halfway through his tray, chewing with glazed eyes and a dumb smile on his face. He was shirtless now—had stripped it off a day ago, complaining it was itchy.

Jake couldn’t stop noticing the change in his body. Subtle, but definitely there.

Ethan’s shoulders were thicker. His traps, a little higher. His chest had started filling out, the hint of new muscle pushing beneath his skin like rising dough. But more than that—it was the hair.

His pits had gone from sparse to dense. Tufts of dark brown hair spilled out, curling against his arms every time he lifted one. A faint trail had appeared below his belly button. Not sharp and clean like gym guys—but fuzzy, soft-looking, thick.

Jake swallowed hard.

“What the hell is in that food?” he muttered.

Ethan burped and licked some mashed potatoes off his thumb. “Dunno. But it’s kinda good now, right? Way better than the first tray.”

Jake frowned. “You’ve had like five trays.”

Ethan just shrugged, his eyes distant. “Guess I was hungry.”

Jake hadn’t eaten since the first day. He didn’t trust it. But his stomach growled, loud and angry, as the scent wafted up again. God—it really did smell kind of amazing now. Almost… intoxicating.

He shook his head and turned away, catching his reflection in the polished steel wall panel.

And paused.

There—under his nose.

It was faint. But unmistakable.

A line of darker fuzz above his lip.

His breath caught.

Later that night, Jake sat hunched in the corner of his cot, his fingers trembling as he touched the fuzz again. It felt foreign. Wrong. He hadn’t grown facial hair before—not like this. Maybe a little scruff, but this? It was darker. Denser. A mustache was coming in.

Across the room, Ethan was humming tunelessly to himself, stretching on the cot like a cat. His shirt still lay crumpled on the floor.

“Dude,” Jake whispered. “You’ve got a mustache.”

Ethan grinned, not even looking up. “Sick, right?”

Jake blinked. “You… like it?”

“Yeah, man. Kinda makes me feel... I dunno. Hot.”

Jake stared at him. His face was fuller now. Rounder. The mustache was thick enough to notice even in the dim light. It curled a little at the corners. His cheeks had a faint stubble shadow, and—God—it looked like his goatee was starting too.

Something low and instinctive stirred in Jake's chest. Not fear. Not quite.

He crossed his arms, noticing how his shirt was tighter across his pecs. And his armpits… they itched. A lot.

He lifted an arm and took a sniff—then recoiled.

“Jesus.”

The musk hit him like a punch. Earthy, sharp, like a gym bag left in the sun. But buried beneath the disgust was… something else. He wasn’t sure what. He just knew he didn’t hate it as much as he should.

Ethan was watching him now, grinning lazily. His teeth looked wider somehow. Or maybe Jake was just tired.

“Doc says we’re getting optimized,” Ethan said, voice a little slurred. “Like… peak man stuff. Testosterone, muscles, hair…”

He scratched under his gut, where a new patch of hair had definitely started spreading.

Jake felt a chill crawl up his spine.

“Ethan,” he said quietly, “this isn’t us. We’ve gotta fight this. We’ve gotta stay sharp. Remember who we are.”

Ethan leaned back, resting one hand on his jiggly belly, smiling like he hadn’t heard a word. His fingers sank in just slightly.

Jake couldn’t stop looking at that—at the way Ethan’s soft gut bounced just a bit when he shifted. He was starting to look... hefty. Stronger, yeah. But there was mass now.

A low hum buzzed from the ceiling. Feeding time again. Another tray clunked through the slot.

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

Jake clenched his fists.

But he was starving.

Jake lasted until the fifth day.

That’s when the growling in his stomach turned violent, and the scent of the food tray hit him so hard it made his mouth water. He’d woken up sweating, shirt soaked through, his whole body thrumming like something was happening beneath his skin.

Ethan was already scarfing down his meal across the room, shirtless as usual. His hair was longer now, curling against his neck. The goatee was thick, wide across his chin and creeping toward his cheeks. The mustache had fully connected, dark and bristly. He looked like some frat bro turned lumberjack—huge, sweaty, hairy.

And dumb. So dumb.

“Dude,” Ethan mumbled through a mouthful of something buttery. “You gotta eat. Feels good. Like… so good.”

Jake stood on shaky legs and approached his tray like it might bite. Steak again. Mashed potatoes. A massive hunk of bread dripping with grease. And that same thick shake.

He hesitated.

Then shoveled a forkful of potatoes into his mouth—and moaned.

It was amazing.

His body practically buzzed in response, like it had been waiting. Craving. Every bite made his skin tingle, his muscles pulse. The shake hit like warm syrup down his throat, and he drank all of it without even thinking.

Across the room, Ethan let out a loud belch, his hand lazily rubbing his stomach.

Jake felt something shift inside him.

By the next morning, everything was different.

Jake woke up soaked in sweat. His chest was sticking to the sheet. And when he sat up—he felt heavy. His pecs bounced. His stomach sat in his lap, soft and jiggly. Not huge. Not yet. But it was there. Round and real.

“Oh my God,” he muttered, running a hand over his belly.

It was hairy.

Not just a little peach fuzz. Thick, curling hair, centered around his belly button and spreading outward like someone had painted it on. His armpits itched like hell—he raised an arm and hissed through his teeth.

A forest under there. Dark and dense and reeked.

He stumbled toward the metal wall to check his reflection—and gasped.

His mustache was fully in now, thick and bristly. But below it—chin fuzz had turned into a proper goatee, short but definitely there. His jaw was fuller. His traps had risen. His neck had thickened.

“Jesus,” he whispered, reaching up and rubbing his face.

Behind him, Ethan groaned from his cot and sat up—naked from the waist up, his belly massive compared to a few days ago. Round, soft, covered in sweaty curls of hair. His goatee looked trimmed, like the doc had shaped it for him. His chest had started drooping with weight, but the muscle beneath it was undeniable.

And God, the smell coming off him.

Jake turned, nose wrinkling—but he didn’t step back.

Ethan grinned, eyes glassy, hair sticking to his forehead with sweat.

“Morning,” he said, voice thick and slow. “You’re lookin’ good, bro.”

Jake blinked. “You’re... you’re getting huge.”

Ethan looked down and jiggled his gut with both hands, giggling dumbly.

“Yeah, bro. Feels kinda awesome.”

Jake couldn’t believe this. Ethan was proud of it. The belly. The hair. The stink. He liked it.

“You don’t care?” Jake asked, stepping closer, voice quiet. “About what they’re doing to us?”

Ethan just smiled. His face looked dopey and happy.

Jake stood in front of him now. Too close. He could see the sweat beading on Ethan’s chest hair. Smell him. And—God—feel something stirring low in his gut. Something he didn’t want to name.

“I feel good,” Ethan said, licking his lips absently. “You look good too, man. Like... real good.”

Jake’s breath caught.

Ethan reached out, lazily, and pressed a hand to Jake’s gut.

Jake froze.

It was a slow, heavy touch. Just resting there, feeling the give of it. The warmth. The newness.

Jake stared down, horrified—but didn’t pull away.

“You’re getting soft,” Ethan murmured, grinning. “I like it.”

Jake opened his mouth to say something—anything—but all he could feel was that hand, warm and rough and hairy, resting on his belly like it belonged there.

He didn’t stop Ethan when his fingers brushed lower.

Didn’t move when Ethan’s forehead bumped against his chest, lips parting, breath hot and shallow.

Didn’t stop himself from curling one hand behind Ethan’s head and whispering:

“I think they’re turning us into pigs.”

Ethan chuckled against his skin. “Hot pigs.”

Jake’s heart thundered.

And he didn’t disagree.

Jake couldn't breathe.

His body was too heavy—his belly pressing into his legs with each breath. Every time he inhaled, it felt like he was pulling more weight into his chest. The thought of stepping out into the hall again seemed impossible. The sweat wasn’t just a result of the heat, either. It had become a part of him, his body continuously working, expanding, adjusting to the steady onslaught of food and whatever the hell those experiments were doing to him.

Ethan, on the other hand, seemed almost comfortable in his own skin.

Jake turned his head to look at him. Ethan was lounging on the couch, the crinkle of his chubby, hairy belly filling the room. His arms were stretched behind his head, showing off his thick biceps that had only grown more defined with the constant meals and rest. The sweat that covered him made the light bounce off his chest hair—wild, thick curls spread like vines. His smile was lazy, confident.

"You look like a goddamn bear," Jake muttered.

Ethan just chuckled, rubbing his belly lazily. "Yeah, man. A big, hairy, happy bear."

Jake sighed and rubbed his face. His own hands were bigger now—his fingers thick, his palms wide, with an uncomfortable layer of softness covering them. His legs were getting harder to move around, his thighs rubbing together with every step, his jeans tight in places that used to be his comfort zone.

His reflection in the mirror only made things worse. His face had rounded out more, his chin softening, covered in the beginnings of a goatee. A thick layer of hair now lined his jaw, and a strip ran up to his lips, dark and almost gross to him. And his stomach… it wasn’t just soft anymore. It jiggled. It was round, full, with dark patches of belly hair swirling down toward his waistband. His shirt strained against his shoulders, no longer fitting right—too tight in places where it should’ve been loose. His arms, too, were getting heavy, their muscle hidden under a growing layer of fat and hair.

“Ethan, I... I can’t keep doing this. I don’t even recognize myself anymore,” Jake said, his voice low, shaking slightly.

Ethan sat up, his thick stomach squishing as he did. He wiped the sweat off his brow and walked over to Jake. His chest was so massive now, it looked like it was swallowing the rest of him.

“You’re just not used to it yet,” Ethan said, gently brushing a hand over Jake’s belly. The softness under his touch made Jake flinch. "Trust me, bro, this is a good thing. We’re getting bigger, stronger, better."

Jake stiffened at the touch. "I’m fat now, Ethan. And you... You look like you’re getting bigger every day. It feels like I’m losing control."

Ethan’s smile didn’t fade. He grabbed Jake’s shoulders, turning him toward the full-length mirror. “Look at us, man. We’re becoming something different. Something better. We’re not just these scrawny little college guys anymore. We’re something strong. Powerful."

Ethan’s thick fingers slid down Jake’s chest, his palm resting right on his belly. Jake stared at their reflection in the mirror. Ethan was right there, taller and fuller, with the dark patch of a goatee, his hair sticking up in messy curls. And Jake? He was bigger, too. His belly was round, soft, like a pillow under his hands. His legs were thicker, the muscles beneath the fat still there but hidden beneath layers of softness. The dark hair on his chest, his arms, his belly—he looked like a whole new person.

Ethan leaned in, brushing Jake’s hair behind his ear, his fingers lingering just above his ear. “You’re hot, man,” Ethan murmured, looking at Jake with an intensity that made Jake’s heart race. “You’ve always been hot. Now? You’re a man. Just like me.”

Jake froze.

Before he could respond, Ethan pressed his lips against Jake’s—just a soft, teasing kiss. The warmth of Ethan’s body pressed against his. Ethan tasted like the food they’d been shoveling down, his breath a mix of fast food and sweat. But it wasn’t the taste that made Jake’s heart thud; it was the feeling of Ethan’s hands on his belly, his thick fingers sliding over the soft layers of fat that were growing on him. The kiss deepened, and Jake felt something stir inside him that he couldn’t explain.

Ethan’s hands slid lower, rubbing Jake’s belly, kneading the softness. And for the first time, Jake didn’t pull away. Instead, he let Ethan touch him. He let himself feel that softness—the weight of their bodies, the heat between them. His body was changing, but in that moment, Jake didn’t care. He wanted more.

“You like it, don’t you?” Ethan whispered, his lips brushing against Jake’s neck.

Jake swallowed. “I don’t know… I don’t know anymore…”

But deep down, he knew. The way his heart raced. The way his body responded to Ethan’s touch. It wasn’t just the transformation. It was more than that.

A few weeks later, they were released from the experimental facility. The world was different now. They were different.

Jake felt like he was suffocating in his clothes. The pants he used to wear so easily were tight now, barely fitting over his thickened thighs and swollen belly. He and Ethan stood outside the place they used to drink, their faces unrecognizable from the college students they used to be. Their shirts were stretched tight over their bulging chests, exposing dark patches of belly hair as they adjusted, trying to breathe without feeling so full.

Ethan, of course, was handling it much better. He’d grown into his body with an ease Jake couldn’t even describe. His shirt clung to his chest like a second skin, his arms thick with muscle and fat. His belly jutted out proudly, no longer hidden but on full display. He looked like a walking statue of masculine power.

Jake couldn’t help but feel jealous. Ethan was exuding confidence, swaggering like he owned the world. Every step he took was assured, his chest out, his belly swaying with each movement. He was huge—but it felt right on him.

The minute they stepped back on campus, they knew things had changed.

“Yo, Jake? Ethan? What the hell happened to you guys?”

“Jesus Christ, bro. You guys are huge.”

Their friends stared in shock, some with mouths agape, others whispering. It didn’t take long for people to start laughing, but it wasn’t the mocking kind. It was the kind of laughter where people didn’t know whether to be impressed or disgusted.

Jake’s cheeks burned. He felt their eyes on him. The whispers. The pointed glances.

Ethan just grinned and leaned back, slapping his hand on Jake’s shoulder, causing their bellies to bump together. “What’s up, guys? You lookin’ at my bro here?” Ethan said, laughing. “He’s looking good, huh?”

Jake didn’t know how to respond. He stared at the people he’d once hung out with, now unsure of who they even were. They were staring at his belly—at the hair that had grown on his chest, his arms, his legs. His face had changed, too. He had a full goatee now. His body was a mess of fat and muscle and hair.

One of his old friends—Ben—raised an eyebrow. “You’ve really let yourselves go, huh?” he said, crossing his arms. “Or are you just doing it on purpose now?”

Jake felt his stomach churn. His belly was growing heavier with each second, his shirt tight against the expanding mass.

“Yeah,” Ethan said, slapping Jake’s belly lightly. “We like it like this.”

And then the realization hit Jake.

He liked it too. He liked how he felt in his skin now. How big he was. How confident Ethan made him feel.

Jake turned to look at him, and Ethan grinned.

"Let’s head back to our dorm. I’m starved."

Jake nodded, grinning back. And as they walked back to the dorm, their bodies pressed together, and the stares of the people around them faded. Jake realized that this—this was who he was now. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

[pep-the-artemis]

I feel we as a community aren't giving enough stress on the fact there's another unidentified Solver.

We know this because N and Nori were being chased by one and canonically it feels unlikely to have been Nori, Yeva, Flesha, Uzi, or Doll because; Yeva and Doll are dead, Flesha was with Doll, Uzi was watching the video clip, and Nori was being chased.

Who's the host?

One possibility is that Nori was wrong and the Solver creature wasn't an corrupted Worker Drone just something else.

It could also be Jerad (Test Subject 014), Jimi (Test Subject 056), Jordan, (Test Subject 015), Junior (Test Subject 008), Jweb (Test Subject 092), Loch (Test Subject 103), Luna (Test Subject 072), Matt (Test Subject 128), Mika (Test Subject 020), Ezra (Test Subject 070), Atta (Test Subject 001), Carl (Test Subject 105), Dean (Test Subject 023), Nath (Test Subject 076), or Sofi (Test Subject 129) but it feels unlikely that they will introduce a new character for episode 7.

Another rattling in my brain right now is that it is Cyn and Tessa is currently the one in possession of Cyns original body. We know Cyn wasn't using her physical body in episode 5 because it was made clear to have been a hologram.

Or it could have been V or Alice... both feel unlikely but not impossible.

Currently, not certain?

Dear Ghost,

Your presence in Aspenwood Manor has not gone unnoticed. Your hand in this story is greatly appreciated, though the results may not always be to our inhabitants' likings.

We wanted to share a blueprint for the tale you're navigating. You may find it helpful to know how many acts of this drama are still to come; how many storeys you have left to descend. Named after particular bedrooms, the three acts of You are the Ghost in This House are:

I. Guest

II. Family

III. Master

Each act contains roughly 20 chapters, with blog posts from that nosy journalist Jay Jenkins appearing every 5 chapters, totaling 24 installments.

In the interest of planning, we thought you'd like to know the release schedule for the rest of Act I: Guest — which, like this House, is a bit irregular and always subject to change and renovation.

GHOST 015: May 28

Under the Floorboards 3: June 4

GHOST 016: June 11

GHOST 017: June 25

GHOST 018: June 25

GHOST 019: June 30

GHOST 020: August 13

Under the Floorboards 4 and other haunting shenanigans: TBD

As always, this is your House. It is haunted. We cannot wait to see how you haunt it next.

Sincerely,

The Voice You Hear and His Conduits at Three Fates

P.S. If you’d like to receive bonus content, sneak peaks, and other House secrets in the coming weeks, join the Three Fates Patreon at any level (as low as $1 a month) and you’ll get access to a special Discord channel which will be haunted with more supernatural activity in the coming weeks.

To access, link your Patreon account to your Discord account (instructions can be found here).  As a reminder, when joining a tier, make sure to do so using a non-Apple browser or device, as iOS charges an extra fee that does not benefit the creators!

To put an experience afloat on a shifting body of water like a little boat. . .

bwah!

TV — CH29

Delighted to share with you a little poetry book I wrote this year, it's titled CAMERA-WOMAN and it can be read for free on Issuu.

These poems were strongly influenced by my lifelong fondness of television. On a broader sense, this book takes a dive into the possibilities regarding the close relationship between words and pictures. CAMERA-WOMAN also ruminates on the fundamental link which ties our body senses, the stimulus of the world and the particular meanings constructed by our thinking. What is the body if not both the recorder and the searchlight of our spirit? What is art if not the screen and the speaker to our unraveling, translucent and unbounded? Passions and pains, fictions and non-fictions; we are objects and subjects under constant changes of pace and light, frame by frame—thought by thought. CAMERA-WOMAN is a Poetry/TV Zapping experience provided by the cable network of my body and brain on fire.

Please, feel free to grab the remote control and watch some television with me. . .

Texto en Español:

Encantada de compartir con ustedes un pequeño libro de poesía que escribí este año, se titula CAMERA-WOMAN y se puede leer gratis en Issuu.

Estos poemas fueron influenciados fuertemente por mi afición de toda la vida por la televisión. En un sentido más amplio, este libro se sumerge en las posibilidades concernientes a la estrecha relación entre palabras e imágenes. CAMERA-WOMAN también reflexiona sobre el vínculo fundamental que une nuestros sentidos corporales, los estímulos del mundo y los significados particulares construidos por nuestro pensamiento. ¿Qué es el cuerpo si no la grabadora y al mismo tiempo el proyector de nuestro espíritu? ¿Qué es el arte si no la pantalla y el altavoz para nuestro desenvolvimiento, traslúcido y liberado? Pasiones y dolores, ficciones y no-ficciones; somos objetos y sujetos bajo constantes cambios de ritmo y luz, cuadro por cuadro—pensamiento por pensamiento. CAMERA-WOMAN es una experiencia de Poesía/Zapping-de-TV provista por la compañía de cable de mi cuerpo y cerebro en llamas.

Por favor, siéntanse libres de tomar el control remoto y ver algo de televisión conmigo. . .
