The neon glow of Turin’s nightlife spills onto the cobblestones as Kenan Yıldız, 19, waits inside a bustling pizzeria. Half-Turkish, half-German, and now a star for Juventus, he’s surrounded by family—his father Engin, mother Beate, and others—but his mind drifts. It’s been five long years since he left his childhood friends behind to chase football glory. Outside, the night is cool, the air thick with anticipation. Unbeknownst to him, two familiar faces are about to step into this scene, shattering the quiet rhythm of his evening. His phone buzzes. A message from the past: “Come to portici in 5 min.”
