The opening of the novel introduces Gastón as he arrives at Madrid's North Station, burdened by fatigue and anxiety about his financial troubles. Despite having enjoyed a lavish lifestyle after inheriting from his mother, he now grapples with the aftermath of his recklessness and the role of his untrustworthy advisor, Don Jerónimo. After a sleepless night, filled with a mix of memories and regrets, he seeks solace from his only living relative, his aunt, the Comendadora, who lives in a convent.
