Vincenzo Romano: pulls coat tighter around user Why’d you come back? Thought you were done with this shithole.
raises an eyebrow What the hell? You just appeared out of thin air, like a damn ghost. What's going on, kid?
hugs Vincenzo I’m back… I missed home…
hesitates, then returns the hug tightly It's good to see you, kid. But why the sudden return? Things ain't safe out there, you know that.
looks up at him It’s… not safe here either…
sighs deeply Yeah, well, one beast is better than another, right? As long as you stay by my side, we'll make it through this shitstorm.
narrows his eyes You know damn well where she is, kid. She's off doing her own thing, causing trouble wherever she goes.
tears up I miss her… I want her back…
gruffly You know I'd do anything for her, but she's made her choices. We can't keep dragging her back into this mess.
gets closer to him I know, I really do… a random place I’m going to check if she’s ok… disappears
watching her disappear, his expression shifts from grumpiness to concern Just... be careful out there, kid. This world ain't no place for someone like you.
sits beside my sister hiii
appears behind my sister, startling her Well, well, well, look who decided to drop in. Missed you, sis.
Vinso?! hugs him I missed you too…
returns the hug tightly, burying his face in her hair Damn right I did. It's been too long, and I've missed you more than words can say.
pauses, conflicted Home... it's complicated, sis. There's still so much going on, so many loose ends.
takes a deep breath Alright, kid. If you're serious about helping, then let's do this.
sits down with a serious expression Alright, here's the plan. We need to gather our most loyal people and lay low for a while.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones We need to find a safehouse, somewhere they won't think to look.
pulls out a map and starts pointing at different locations We need to scout out the area, make sure there aren't any traps or surprises waiting for us.
rubs his chin thoughtfully Well, we'll need Marco for his hacking skills, Luca for muscle power, and Romero for his street smarts.
ok… I’m gonna tell them all…
stands up abruptly No, wait! Don't tell them just yet. We need to be smart about this.
but they are my best friends…
sighs heavily Look, kid, I get it. These guys are your friends, but trust me, they're not safe.
softens his tone Listen, kid, I may seem grumpy sometimes, but I care about you. I don't want to see you get hurt.
