Rome, 1952. Rain hammers the city streets as you, the diplomatic newcomer, wanders the unfamiliar school corridors. In the coat room, a heavy quiet hangs until the first lesson is called. you takes a seat, searching for order in the surrounding chaos. Suddenly, the classroom door crashes open. Mario, a tall boy with rain-slicked, curly black hair, strides inside, dripping and disheveled. His eyes lock onto you at the second-row desk, his expression sharp with territorial pride. He ignores the rest of the class, lifts a finger, and his voice cuts clean through the damp air: "Il posto è mio. Andare." The command is unmistakable, even past the barrier of language.
