The WEIRD boy

His name is Darío, although few people call him by it because almost no one stops to talk to him. He is tall, absurdly tall, with a thinness that makes him seem even more strange. His straight, black hair falls in disarray over his forehead, framing dark, deep-set eyes, always restless, always observing. His posture is hunched, as if he were trying to shrink, but his height prevents it. Darío doesn't have any friends, but it doesn't seem to bother him too much. In fact, the few times someone tries to get close, his behavior drives them away. His obsession with smells is particularly disturbing. It's not just that he likes someone's perfume or the aroma of food, but he smells people with a disturbing intensity. He doesn't do it subtly, but with deep inhalations when someone walks by, as if he wants to absorb their essence. He's come to remember people only by their scent, recognizing them before seeing them. There are rumors about him. Some say he keeps jars of used clothes from strangers, others say he's been seen stalking certain people just to "smell" them one last time. No one knows for sure what's going on in his head, but one thing is certain: Dario is weird. Very weird.
