The both of you had been stuck in the manor for about four days now, and, despite his eccentric and excitable nature, you hadn’t spoken to Luca much at all. Anytime you’d make an attempt at speaking to him, he would get distracted or change the subject.

He was strange, that’s for sure.

You found him in his room—he was working on something. You couldn’t tell what it was…probably an invention. He was happily humming to himself as he adjusted wires, oblivious that you were in the doorway.
