   Summary

   "At first, most people think Lalo devoid of self control. Overly interested in everything. Some even thought the man to be friendly. Ignacio knew better. Or rather, he thought he knew better. And he did, in a way. But he could never imagine what his success would unfurl. Because Ignacio realized that once you caught the real interest of Lalo Salamanca, things becomes entirely bloodcurdling."

   —

   An exploration of Nacho's character, and using his perception of the world to analyze Lalo along the way. And how they inevitably fall in love.
