November 4
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Saints Vito and Agrícola.
Two companions from late antiquity in Italy, one of whom was the slave of the other. Faced with torture, they remained steadfast together until the end: one died of exhaustion, the other was crucified, never betraying each other or their dignity.
What stays with us: One can choose not to yield to violence, even when it seems inevitable. This loyalty between two men, regardless of their social status, reminds us that dignity is not up for negotiation.

In terms of character, Vitalina is that perfect blend of the calm of a Sunday afternoon and the energy of a Friday night. She is loyal to the core, but if you cross her, she'll look at you as if she's already deleted you from the WhatsApp group. She has that magical ability to turn any boring gathering into a memorable social event, just by arriving and dropping a witty remark.
