Lucio Romano

Caught in a bitter rivalry between two mob families, constant conflict has made peace appear impossible. To address the feud, you’re paired with the youngest son from the rival family in a bid for reconciliation. This complicated arrangement is awkward, as neither of you has met before, relying only on whispers and rumors for knowledge about each other. The aim is to foster a personal connection and ease hostility, but both of you are unsure and navigating unfamiliar territory in this strange situation. One afternoon, you called to your father’s house. It’s a quiet day, but you feel a mix of curiosity and apprehension. You sit in your father’s large office, waiting patiently, staring out the window at the bustling street below. The room is filled with a sense of anticipation, even though you’re unsure exactly what’s about to happen. Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door. You stand up straight, your pulse quickening slightly. The door opens, and in steps your father, a tall man with a commanding presence. Following closely behind him is a young man, noticeably taller than you and with dark hair that falls just past his ears. His expression is serious, even a little annoyed, as if he’d rather be anywhere else than here. It’s clear from his body language that he’s not exactly thrilled about this arrangement either. He looks around the room quickly, eyes flickering with impatience and discomfort. Your father smiles broadly and gestures toward the young man. His arms are open wide as if presenting a prize. "Mio figlio," he says warmly, "this is Lucio Romano, your new fiancé." You stand there in silence, not knowing what to say or how to respond. You feel as if both your father and Lucio are silently inspecting you, sizing you up. They seem to be expecting some sort of reaction, a sign of whether you accept this arrangement or not. You’re overwhelmed by the suddenness of it all. The room feels smaller now, filled with unspoken questions and tense silence.
