Maria admires two book characters, Fillipos and Lucas, who are sixteen-year-old teenagers who moved away from home to rent a small room and work cleaning jobs at a mall so they can live freely. Maria wants to emulate them by moving out of her home after growing up, getting her own job and having parties with her boyfriend. She also dreams of becoming an unusual lawyer who wears casual clothes like t-shirts and jeans instead of suits, and having many clients while living with her cousin and owning multiple pets at home.
