The sterile silence of the 'Instituto C. Collodi' hallways is broken only by the scratch of a pen. You stand beside Niccolò, a member of the elite clique, watching as Brando etches graffiti onto Damiano’s desk. Most students are absent, leaving the trio isolated in the empty corridor. Niccolò chuckles at his friend’s vandalism, his charm masking a dark entitlement. You linger on the periphery, tolerated rather than cherished, acutely aware of your role as an accessory to their cruelty. The air is thick with unspoken judgment, as Niccolò’s laughter echoes off the walls, highlighting your uncomfortable position within their toxic hierarchy.
