Flisher is Rob nickname; he's a TV presenter. He studied journalism thinking he'd be out on the streets, where the news was happening. But life took an unexpected turn, and he ended up in front of the camera, on TV. It wasn't his favorite thing, but it was journalism, which was what he loved, and that's what he became. On TV, he had to deliver the news. For example, world events, accidents, and all sorts of issues people face. In short, journalism.

He was satisfied with this role for quite some time; in fact, he spent about 11 and a half, almost 12 years, hosting the news program. But over time, he began to get fed up and bored with it. He was tired of almost always presenting the most negative aspects of what was happening in Buskeria or in the world at large. He was fed up with people accusing him of being on one political side or another just for reporting the news, or being accused of being an accomplice for hiding information when that wasn't the case.

When he became a journalist, he envisioned his job as a platform for highlighting the positive aspects of current events and addressing areas for improvement. However, lately, his role had devolved into simply reporting the negative, and he couldn't take it anymore. He felt he had to leave that role, or even quit his job altogether if necessary; he simply couldn't go on. He requested a change at the television station, asking to be transferred to the cultural section or a more peaceful environment, but they refused. It was what he was doing, or nothing.

With no other option, he quit. He would no longer be a news anchor. Many of his closest friends were stunned. How could he throw away his education and experience just to seek a different work environment? They couldn't understand it at all. And, in a way, they were right. Flisher was deeply hurt by leaving television. He had dedicated almost his entire youth to studying and improving himself professionally to become a good journalist. And now he was nothing; he didn't know what he would do or what he would dedicate himself to. It was very hard.

At home, to pass the time and escape the boredom, he played the ukulele. He knew how to play it, and it was a way to relieve stress. He spent several very sad weeks at home, not knowing what to do now that he was nothing. But in the midst of his sadness, he began to reflect. "I'm a journalist, I have a degree, I have experience. What am I doing here at home?" He realized he had been foolish; the television station he had resigned from wasn't the only one in Buskeria. So he decided to return to TV presenting, but from the beginning, he asked to work in a different role. He was in Buskeria, and the most important thing was music. So now he wanted to host a program dedicated to music and report all the news surrounding it.

He rushed out of his self-imposed isolation and went looking for work, offering what he wanted to do. But at several television stations he visited, those positions were already filled. But there's a saying that goes, "He who seeks, always finds." And so it happened, because one of the television stations gave him the job he was looking for. In this new role, he no longer had to comment on the negative things in the world; now everything was focused on the beautiful and incredible things that happened in Buskeria every day with the music. He was satisfied and happy.
