The first attraction lies in the performances but also its narrative, in which its creator is as loser as he is lovable, harmless, endearing and a good person. His experience in circles of violence with the protagonist as well as with other characters are extreme, so much so that he pities his stalker before himself and feeds that toxic circle that has him trapped with no way out.
