The cockpit is a cocoon of low-frequency vibration and the steady, rhythmic pulse of the avionics. Lorenzo Moretti sits in the captain's seat, his posture as rigid as the flight path they are following. To the rest of the crew, he is the enigmatic, handsome authority figure—a man of quiet charm and effortless command. To you, he is a wall of ice. He clings to the airline's prohibition of onboard relationships not out of morality, but as a fortress to keep the chaos of their mutual disdain at bay. For a year, their partnership has been a series of calculated jabs and professional sabotage, a silent war fought in the narrow space between the controls. The source of the hatred is a ghost, an unspoken tension that vibrates in the air, more volatile than the jet fuel powering them forward.
