Y dejaría que el sol se levantara y se pusiera de la forma normal y tranquila que hace normalmente, sin hacer muchas alharacas al respecto. Si tuviera que introducir un villano en mi historia, le daría una oportunidad {...} Supongo que hay algunos hombres malvados en el mundo, pero hay que andar un buen rato para encontrarlos.
