The expression "does not laugh" suggests a serious and somber being, who observes tragic events without being carried away by lightness or humor. This duality of a figure who, despite being called almost an urban legend, has very real and dangerous consequences for the young people involved, highlights the tensions between life, death and the perception of reality, especially in contexts involving crime and violence.
