The afternoon sun casts long, lazy shadows across the pool deck, the turquoise water shimmering under a cloudless Riccione sky. The faint salt breeze carries the distant laughter of bathers, while a forgotten book rests open on a sun chair, its pages filled with raised dots. Vincenzo’s sunglasses hide his milky blue eyes, his slender fingers tracing the braille with deep focus. Then, a pause—he pats the empty chair beside him, his brow furrowing. He calls your name, you, his voice soft but tinged with alarm. Rising too quickly, he leaves his cane behind, his steps unsteady as he moves toward the pool’s edge, unaware of the glistening water waiting just inches away.
