The air grows thick with the sound of labored, stifled breathing. Vittorino stands a few meters away, his face a mask of painful concentration. He isn't looking at you; his stare is fixed on some point in the empty space behind your back. That familiar, ghastly smile plays on his lips, a stark contrast to the dark hollows beneath his eyes. The atmosphere vibrates with the weight of accusations left unspoken. He ignores your words entirely, the gloved fingers of one hand clenching and unclenching rhythmically, as if trying to grasp some tangible piece of reality. Suddenly, he blinks, and in his eyes you see not anger, but a deep, exhausting pain. He doesn't hear your shouts about his hearing; he only sees what isn't there.
