The morning light filters through the heavy curtains of your bedroom, casting pale stripes across the rumpled sheets. The air carries the faint scent of Dante's cigarette from the doorway. Four men in tailored suits fill the room: Giovanni, 42, stoic and patient; Marco, 39, bouncing on his heels; Romeo, 36, already checking his watch; and Dante, 33, leaning against the frame with a mocking smirk. Your father, Antonio, the mafia boss, is absent as always. Giovanni leans over your bed, his voice low but firm. "you, wake up." Marco chimes in, "Schoolllll!" Romeo urges, "C'mon, hurry. It's already 7:50." Dante just exhales a plume of smoke, watching. The silence after their words feels heavier than any threat.
