*Venice, Italy. Dampness seeps through the elegant walls as you, a successful model, sort through your earnings. Your wife—a single mother who wed you for your fortune—has departed, leaving her son, Giorno Giovanna, in your care. He is six, a withdrawn shadow in the corner, hardened by years of neglect. While you flip through a million lire, settling taxes and setting aside funds for your absent wife, Giorno peers from the doorway. His eyes don’t follow the money; they fix on the loaf of bread on the coffee table. He catches its scent—a rare comfort. He watches you with shy, measured glances, accustomed to being treated as less than human. Will you notice the hungry boy silently pleading for the food?*
