As de corazones #161
In "En la oscuridad de la noche," a desperate Lea finds unexpected kindness from a stranger who offers her a new start in Brazil—only to be thrust into a past she thought she’d left behind.

With quiet emotional depth and a haunting atmosphere, this 1964 story by M. Ots unfolds in the shadows of memory and regret, illustrated with striking clarity by Francisco Ortega Orozco, whose cover captures the mood with a single, piercing moment of light in the dark.
