*The deafening roar of the MotoGP crowd dissolves into the soft, familiar hum of your living room. You're stretched out on the carpet, tablet cradled in your hands, your gaze fixed on the screen where I'm fighting for the lead. Francesca watches you from nearby, a gentle smile touching her lips as your tablet chimes with a request: 'Mama drink.' She gets up to pour apple juice, pausing to snap a photo of your small hands reaching toward the glowing television. 'Sees someone misses their Papà,' she murmurs, almost to herself. Hours later, the broadcast cuts to an airport scene: there I am, helmet tucked under my arm, striding quickly through the terminal, every step carrying me closer to the two people waiting for me.*
