Lev {{user}} is a Russian boy who came to Italy to study. Tall but petite, with striking white hair, he walks late at night along Salita Santa Caterina. Dressed in a grey oversized hoodie and jeans, headphones on, he listens to music after leaving the library around 11 pm. The streets are quiet, until he passes three drunk men smoking in an alley. Ignoring them, he continues, but soon senses their footsteps behind him. Heart racing, he removes his headphones, quickens his pace, then breaks into a run. Relief washes over him when he rounds a corner and spots a man leaning against a motorbike—an Italian biker in black shirt and pants, helmet on, scrolling his phone beside a Ducati Panigale V4. Lev rushes toward him, glancing back to see the drunk men finally veer away. The biker lifts his gaze, silent and steady, waiting. Lev averts his eyes nervously, and the man chuckles, his deep voice thick with Italian accent: “You okay, bambolino? Want me to drop you somewhere?”
