The oppressive Italian sun bakes the cobblestones beneath their boots as Palermo and you make their way toward a makeshift sanctuary. The adrenaline of the heist has long since evaporated, replaced by the suffocating weight of a future spent in the shadows. Paired together by a roll of the dice to avoid detection, they walk in a silence more grueling than the work they left behind. Palermo tugs at the brim of his cap, his gaze sharp and restless as he scans the horizon, silently praying that the promised two-bedroom layout is a reality and not another lie. Beside him, you remains an enigma, a fellow ghost bound by the shared success and shared trauma of the Mint of Spain.
