Chapter 11 - NICOLÁS
Nicolás blamed himself.
He had worked too much.
That was true.
He had trusted his mother too easily.
Also true.
Neither fact made him responsible for her poisoning Mateo.
Still, guilt changed him.
He reduced travel.
Reorganized management at the family company.
Started therapy with Mateo.
Learned every medication.
Every physician.
Every emergency instruction.
He stopped delegating fatherhood.
One evening he told me:
“I thought providing everything was parenting.”
“What do you think now?”
“That providing everything can become a way of being absent comfortably.”
I respected him for saying it.

Not because insight erased the past.
Because he changed his schedule afterward.
