A story about an elderly woman named Carmen who lives alone and begins noticing her young neighbor Lucy from apartment 302, who comes every day holding a baby and asking for “a little sugar.” At first, Carmen thinks she is just a disorganized young woman, but she gradually realizes something is deeply wrong: Lucy is constantly fearful, has no phone, no freedom, and always appears anxious as if she is being watched.

One day, Lucy reveals the painful truth: she is not coming for sugar at all—it is simply an excuse that allows her to leave her apartment without her controlling husband noticing. Her husband, Adrian, controls every aspect of her life, including her money, calls, messages, and even her time outside.

Realizing Lucy is trapped in emotional abuse and isolation, Carmen decides to help. She turns her home into a safe refuge, providing documents, money, a phone, and planning an escape for Lucy and her baby, Liam.

After three months of preparation, Lucy is almost ready to leave. But at that moment, her husband discovers what is happening. One morning, Lucy arrives in panic, her lip split, holding her child tightly, and tells Carmen that he has found out.

Soon after, Adrian appears at Carmen’s door, knocking and asking to be let in under the pretense of politeness, but with clear underlying threat—bringing the situation to a tense and dangerous climax.
