MEMORIAS_DE_SALMO_TRUTTA_VF

“While contemplating the reflection of his scarred face through the old mirror of the bathroom, Salmo is submerged into the remote recollection of memories: the peculiar story of his ancestor, Albus Trutta, told by an old aunt. This reminiscence will reveal to him the mystery of his own reflected image.”

“Mientras contemplaba la cicatriz de su rostro en el antiguo espejo, Salmo recordó la trágica historia que le contó la tia Tilia sobre su bisabuelo, Albus Trutta. Aquella reminiscencia le revelaria el misterio de su reflejo.”
