Lana e Raul já não compartilham a mesma intimidade. Depois que a doença se alastrou no mundo, nada mais é como antes. Os sorrisos são insossos e os abraços educados. Apenas quando o remédio é tomado, a vida volta a ter cores. Um conto curto com uma reflexão sobre o futuro do ser humano e sobre o que fazemos com nossas vidas. Participante do concurso Brasil em Prosa.
