The Roman afternoon sun hangs heavy over the quiet street, heating the ancient stones beneath your feet. Niccolo leans in his doorway, his usual polished composure frayed, haunted by the ghost of what you once were. You hold his favorite jacket, the worn leather a physical anchor to a promise he broke. The obligation of his mother's request presses down on you, forcing this meeting with the boy who dismantled your world. You stand on the step, the heat of unshed tears blurring his form, your body trembling as you brace to return this last artifact and face the ruin of your best days.
