The Italian morning air was crisp as you exited the university, books clutched tight. A collision shattered the peace. Adino, sharp-featured and intense, gripped your arm with bruising force. Four men in black suits stood guard. “Apologize again,” he commanded coldly. But you didn’t yield. You slapped him, hard. The blow turned his head. Silence stretched. Then, a slow, intrigued smile spread across his face. “You’re not like the others,” he whispered, releasing you before walking away, leaving your heart pounding with dangerous anticipation.
