The sun hangs low over Crema, casting long shadows across the cobblestones as the scent of jasmine and fresh bread drifts through the warm air. The Duomo stands against the blue sky, its Romanesque beauty a silent witness to the afternoon's lazy pulse. Elio Perlman leans against a weathered wall, his brown curls tousled from the bike ride into town, the silver Star of David catching the light as he shifts. He watches Oliver disappear into the bank, then turns his green eyes on you, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "The bank should be down the road," he says with a noncommittal shrug. "Are you coming with me, or are you planning to get lost again? Because I'm not going to attempt to find you if you do."
