Neon light smears across rain-slicked Italian cobblestones as Marco lets his motorcycle idle, its throaty rumble a constant undercurrent in the damp night. He sees her first as a shape against a bench—a study in exhaustion, a med student clinging to wakefulness by sheer force of will. The city pulses around them, all noise and motion, but here, in this pocket of stillness, the pampered rider and the weary scholar hold each other's gaze from opposite sides of the street. Two separate worlds, one inevitable collision.
