Carlo is strong, trains very hard and gets always the best grades from the fencing school, he is a prodigy!

...But when his father, Geppetto, did not go to his graduation, he seemed somehow more sad than angry; Carlo just walked away from the halls in the middle of the party, nobody noticing his absence.

"I tried so hard..."

He spoke to himself between sobs, clenching his fists tightly against his eyes and the saline tears, the only one trying to comfort him was the cold of that night.
