On January 8, Èric will return to Lledoners prison, where he had already spent two years in pretrial detention for sexually assaulting a minor. He has just over two weeks of freedom left after the Barcelona Provincial Court ratified the plea agreement on December 3, sentencing him to six and a half years in prison.

A few weeks ago, after returning home from work, Enric made himself something to eat, took a shower, and lay down on his bed with music playing softly in the background. A song he used to listen to during difficult times came on, and he remembered past experiences. He opened his eyes and realized he was home. "My time has come. I'm okay, and I'm happy," he thought.
